Description

These easy one-bowl banana and chocolate muffins are moist, fluffy, and loaded with chocolate chips. Made with ripe bananas and pantry staples, they’re perfect for a quick breakfast or snack with minimal cleanup.


Ingredients

3 ripe bananas (about 300 g or 1 cup), mashed

100 g granulated sugar

80 ml vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp vinegar

240 g (1¾ cups) all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

150 g (¾ cup) chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. If bananas are not ripe, roast them (in their skins) on a baking tray for 15–20 minutes until blackened. Let cool, peel, and mash.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and vinegar until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Swap in whole-wheat flour for added fiber.
  • Chopped nuts or dried fruit can be added for extra texture and flavor.
  • A 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well.
  • Use white or milk chocolate chips for variety.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in a 175 °C (350 °F) oven for 5–10 minutes or microwave for 15–20 seconds.
