Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins - Delicious freshly baked homemade banana muffins loaded with chocolate chips. These muffins are the perfect delicious quick and easy sweet breakfast.

Ingredients you need to make Banana Muffins:

Bananas - You'll need two very ripe bananas! The riper the better. 

White Granulated Sugar - White granulated sugar or cane sugar both work in this recipe.

Brown Sugar - Dark or light brown sugar both work great in this recipe. 

All-Purpose Flour - I used unbleached white all-purpose flour. It is an extremely versatile flour perfect for baking bread. You can also use bleached white flour or bread flour.

Baking Soda - To assist in the rising process.

Egg -  Helps to hold everything together and to increase richness of the bread.

Butter - Salted or usalted butter both work great.

Ground Cinnamon - Adds a nice warm spice to the bread!

Mini Chocolate Chips - Mini semi sweet or regular semi sweet chocolate chips will work great.

Vanilla Extract - Pure vanilla extract is best.

**Full measurements and instructions are listed below.

Tools to have on hand:

• Standard Muffin Pan - A standard muffin pan used to bake your muffins in.
• Muffin Liners "Baking Cups"- These are my favorite muffin liners.
• Mixing Bowl - You'll need two mixing bowls to make the batter.
• Large Mixing Spoon - For mixing the banana bread batter.
• Measuring Spoons and Cups - To properly measure all of your ingredients!

How to make Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, and baking soda and set aside.

In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar and mix until well combined. Mix in egg and vanilla extract.

Sprinkle in flour mixture and mix until well combined. Finally, gently fold in chocolate chips. Careful not to over mix.

Pour banana muffin batter into a lightly buttered muffin pan or into a paper baking cup lined muffin pan.

Transfer bread to the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes.

When done, remove muffins from the oven and let cool slightly. Transfer to a cooling rack to allow them to finish cooling.

Enjoy muffins freshly baked warm!

How to store homemade muffins:

Store completely cooled muffins in a container or cake stand on the counter for up to 3 days. Freeze muffins in an airtight freezer bag for up to 3 months. 

To thaw, remove muffins from freezer and let come to room temperature. 

To reheat muffins, zap in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
