Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2: Mash the Bananas
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth. The more ripe the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In the same bowl, add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then stir to combine.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5: Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the muffins remain light and fluffy.
Step 6: Stir in the Chocolate Chips
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7: Fill Muffin Tin
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This will ensure that the muffins bake up perfectly.
Step 8: Bake
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Perfect Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins:
- Use Overripe Bananas: The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter gently to avoid dense muffins. Overmixing can lead to tough, heavy muffins.
- Try Different Chocolate Chips: Experiment with different types of chocolate chips—dark, milk, or even white chocolate—for a fun twist on the recipe.
- Add Nuts: For extra texture and flavor, consider adding some chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) to the batter.
