Chocolate banana muffins are the ultimate comfort bake—soft, moist, and loaded with melty chocolate chips in every bite. Perfect for breakfast, snack time, or a sweet treat. Got spotty bananas? This is the best way to use them up.

Ingredients

Scale

  •  1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2/3 cup sugar

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed, about 1 cup)

  • 1/3 cup melted butter (slightly cooled)

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional:

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup raisins or dried fruit

Instructions

  1. Prep Oven & Pan
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin or grease well.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

  3. Mix Wet Ingredients
    In another bowl, mash bananas. Add egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.

  4. Combine
    Add dry ingredients to wet. Fold together gently—stop when you still see a little flour.

  5. Add Chocolate & Extras
    Fold in chocolate chips (and nuts or cinnamon, if using). Save some chips for topping.

  6. Fill Muffin Tin
    Divide batter evenly (about 3/4 full). Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.

  7. Bake
    Bake 17–20 minutes. Toothpick should come out clean or with a few crumbs (melted chocolate is fine).

  8. Cool
    Let muffins cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

  • Storage:

    • Fridge: Up to 1 week.

    • Freezer: Up to 3 months. Thaw overnight or microwave 20 seconds.
