Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a muffin tin or line with muffin cups.
-
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
-
Add the melted butter and granulated sugar and stir until well combined.
-
Stir in the beaten egg and vanilla extract.
-
Add the baking soda and salt to the bowl and mix it in.
-
Add the flour to the mixture and mix until it is just combined. Avoid overmixing.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, fill each muffin cup 2/3 of the way full with the batter.
-
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick that's inserted the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before transferring the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.
-
Note: For an extra special touch, sprinkle additional chocolate chips or chopped nuts on top of the muffins before baking. Alternately, you could add a streusel topping made of flour, sugar and butter before baking for a crunch finish.
