Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 overripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt or buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. Mash Bananas: Mash bananas in a large bowl.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk in eggs, brown sugar, yogurt or buttermilk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Combine wet and dry ingredients gently, mixing just until no dry streaks remain.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
  7. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
  8. Add Toppings: Top each muffin with reserved chocolate chips.
  9. Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Cool: Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

For taller muffins, bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce to 350°F for the remaining time. Use bananas that are very ripe for best flavor and moisture.
