Ingredients in Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe

These ingredients are classic and simple. I bet that you have most of them already in your kitchen, ready to go! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.

Overripe Mashed Bananas: The bananas add in natural sweetness, moisture, and of course, banana flavor. Large Egg: Leave your egg out while you are preparing the ingredients so that when it’s time to mix it in, it’s room temperature. Sour Cream: This ingredient contributes to moist texture and adds a subtle tanginess. Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla will make these muffins nice and sweet. Unsalted Butter (melted): This adds in a richness and flavor to the banana chocolate chip muffins. Vegetable oil: This, in addition to the bananas, keeps the muffins nice and moist. Brown Sugar: I love brown sugar and how it always adds in a deep, sweet flavor. Sugar: Keeps these nice and sweet! Flour: I used all purpose flour in this recipe. Baking Soda and Baking Powder: These act as leavening agents keeping a light and airy texture. Salt: Salt enhances all of the flavors in the recipe. Milk Chocolate Chips: You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips if you prefer!

Instructions for Making Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

These banana chocolate chip muffins are next level and you will love every single bite. My kiddos eat these up so I like to double the batch and save some for later!

Save those old bananas! If you have bananas turning black, peel them and freeze them for these delicious banana muffins! Let the frozen bananas thaw and drain off the excess liquid before mashing them for the recipe. Add-Ins: Switch things up by substituting the milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, or use ½ cup of chocolate chips and ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans. Make mini muffins! My kids LOVE mini muffins! They are just so cute and tiny! Spray a mini muffin pan well or use mini muffin liners. Fill them ⅔ of the way full and bake for 14-16 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, until the tops are lightly browned.
