Print Recipe

These Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are soft, moist, and packed with rich chocolate flavor. Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, they’re easy to make and a great way to use up ripe bananas. The combination of sweet bananas, melty chocolate chips, and crunchy walnuts makes them irresistible!

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1½ cups)
  • 1¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (120g) chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Servings: 12 muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  3. Add bananas: Mash the bananas and stir them into the batter.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in mix-ins: Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).
  6. Fill muffin cups: Divide batter evenly into the liners (fill almost to the top). Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas – The darker the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don’t overmix the batter – Stir just until combined to keep the muffins tender.
  • Add extra chocolate chips on top – For a bakery-style look and extra gooey chocolate in every bite.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick – Insert into the center; if it comes out clean (or with just a few crumbs), they’re done!
