These delicious Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are my new favorite way of using over-ripe bananas. A quick and easy grab and go breakfast idea.
We always have a bunch of bananas in my house. This is what happens when you have a fruit obsessed toddler who requires at least 2 bananas a day to be satisfied.
But on weeks where our toddler somehow hates bananas (he’s a fickle boy like that), I will often bake our favorite banana bread recipe. Last week I actually baked that recipe twice.
So I’m trying something new. Today’s recipe is for easy banana muffins. Delicious banana muffins with chocolate chips might I add. No toddler can refuse these moist muffins. Heck, I have a hard time refusing these myself!
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Ingredients
You just need a couple of pantry essentials to make these chocolate chip banana muffins. All you need is:
- all purpose flour
- brown sugar
- baking powder
- baking soda
- ground cinnamon
- unsalted butter
- overripe bananas
- milk
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- chocolate chips
Tips
Storage: Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Freezing instructions: These muffins freeze very well. Just place the cooled muffins into freezer-safe bags, and place in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Turn ripe bananas into black bananas. Either place them in the freezer overnight, or place them in the oven if you need to make the recipe that day. To do the oven method, place the bananas on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 300℉ for 30 minutes.
Variations
Use whole wheat flour. If you wanted a healthier version, you can do half white flour and half whole wheat flour. Or replace all the flour with white whole wheat flour.
Make them into mini banana chocolate chip muffins. To do this, follow the original recipe as is, then divide the batter into a mini muffin pan. I would suggest using mini chocolate chips, because mini chips give mini muffins a better consistency.
Switch up the chocolate chips. I love using dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips in this recipe, but any kind of chocolate chip that you have on hand works well in this recipe.
Make Banana Chocolate Chip Streusel Muffins. Combine 1 1/4 cup of flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup sugar, and 6 Tbsp butter in a small bowl. Before baking, sprinkle the streusel on top of the muffins.
