Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas The riper, the better!
  • 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter Coconut oil can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 3/4 cup sugar Brown sugar can be substituted for a deeper flavor.
  • 1 large egg A flax egg can be used for a plant-based option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Bittersweet chocolate works well too.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray for easy removal.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the 3 ripe bananas until smooth. You can leave some small chunks for added texture if you like!
  3. Stir in the 1/3 cup melted butter, mixing until well combined.
  4. Add the 3/4 cup sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until everything is fully combined and slightly creamy.
  5. Sprinkle in the 1 teaspoon baking soda and a pinch of salt, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Gradually fold in the 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, stirring just until no dry flour is visible.
  7. Finally, gently fold in the 1 cup of chocolate chips until they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
  10. Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added flavor, consider cinnamon or nuts. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
