Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Tender, moist, and perfectly sweet, studded with irresistible pockets of chocolate. And you’ll love that the recipe is simple, quick, and made in one bowl.
Ingredients
- 2 medium or large bananas very ripe and peeled
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour see note
- 1/3 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar light or dark
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/3 cups dark or semisweet chocolate chips about 8 ounces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly coat a muffin tin with cooking spray, or line with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Add yogurt, oil, egg, and vanilla, and whisk to combine.
- Sprinkle the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking power, and salt over the banana mixture. Stir gently just until the batter is mostly even. Add chocolate chips and stir once more to incorporate.
- Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin wells. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees, then, leaving them in, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake 16-18 minutes more. When they are done, a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin will come out clean. Cool and enjoy!
Notes
- Healthy Swap: For a healthier swap, use 3/4 cup all-purpose flour plus 3/4 cup whole wheat flour. No other changes needed.
- Storage: These keep well at room temperature for 2-3 days. I usually store them in an airtight container but leave the zipper or lid just slightly cracked.
- Freezer: Yes, these can be frozen! Store in a freezer-safe ziplock or plastic storage container for 2-3 months. You can defrost as a batch on the counter overnight - crack the container to avoid excess condensation inside - or individually by warming in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
