- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir in the mashed bananas until just combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
- For extra moist muffins, you can substitute 1/4 cup of the melted butter with vegetable oil.
- To make these bakery style, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
