Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup packed brown sugar you can use dark or light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup canola oil or vegetable see note
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups mashed banana see note
- 1 cup chocolate chips see note
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a muffin pan with paper liners or you can spray the pan with cooking spray if you don't have liners on hand.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and mashed banana until well combined. The batter will be lumpy from the bananas.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined (about 10 to 15 seconds). Stir in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful (about ¼ - ⅓ cup) to place on top of the muffins if desired.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them to the top. Place the reserved chocolate chips on top.
- Bake the muffins for five minutes at 425℉. Then, lower the temperature to 350℉ for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
- Take the muffins out of the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool.
Notes
Oil: You can substitute the same amount of melted butter for the oil.
Bananas: You will need approximately three medium-sized bananas for 1 1/2 cups mashed.
Chocolate chips: Use your favorite chips - I love these with semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, but milk chocolate would be great, too. You could also use white chocolate chips or peanut butter chips.
Storage: They will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for two to three days. Or you can freeze them for up to three months.
