How to Make Perfect Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins?

  1. Grease your muffin tins.
  2. Peel bananas and throw them in a big bowl with the melted butter and smash it all together with a fork.
  3. Keep blending until the mixture is creamy and smooth, not chunky.
  4. Add sugar, egg and vanilla and mix just until combined.
  5. Stir in salt and baking soda.
  6. Add flour and chocolate chips and mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
  7. Divide into muffin tins.
  8. Bake until cake tester or toothpick pulls out cleanly for about 18-20 minutes.

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients & Variations

Similar to the ingredients found in a classic banana bread with the addition of chocolate chips!

FLOUR
For this recipe we use all purpose flour. You can also substitute up to 1/3 of the flour with quick oats with great results!

CHOCOLATE CHIPS
Adding chocolate chips makes for the perfect sweet treat. Mini chips, white chocolate chips or even milk chocolate chips will work in this recipe too!

BANANAS
This recipe is a perfect way to use up overripened bananas! If your bananas aren’t quite ready you can ripen them quickly by popping them in a 350°F oven for 10-15 mins wrapped in foil!

You can also add in up to 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to make peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins! Yum!

  2. Combine wet ingredients in a bowl. Slowly add dry to wet until just combined (do not overmix).

How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins?

Ingredients for Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins:

  • Baking powder and baking soda Learn more about baking soda vs. baking powder here!
  • Fine salt – to balance out the sweetness.
  • Ground cinnamon and nutmeg

  • Granulated sugar
  • Light brown sugar
  • Unsalted butter

How ripe should bananas be for muffins?

Be sure to use overripe bananas for these muffins. The best bananas for baking should be very well speckled or even nearly black. This is important when baking Banana Bread, muffins, cake, or cupcakes!

If you use underripe bananas (and when I say ‘underripe,’ I mean for baking specifically!), your muffins will be bland and dry.

Can you make them ahead of time?

Yes, these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are perfect for making ahead and freezing. Whether you need these muffins for a future date or just want to have some on hand, you can freeze them once they’ve cooled in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When you are ready to serve, just allow them to defrost overnight in the fridge and then warm them up in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

Do I make banana muffins with oil or butter?

Oil is not the devil that it’s portrayed to be and if you use a cold pressed canola oil that has little or no taste to it, you are winning. There is a big difference in the texture of banana muffins made with oil versus ones with butter All muffins made with oil are going to be more cake-like, while the ones using butter will be denser. There is really no right or wrong choice, just your preference.

Does the sour cream make these more moist banana muffins?

Yes, the sour cream helps make these muffins moister. That’s the aim when you are making banana muffins, you want them moist and decadent. This recipe for banana muffins uses sour cream and this helps yield deliciously moist and chocolate banana muffins! The key is also to use not only the bananas but very ripe bananas as the riper the bananas are the more they mix into the batter.
