Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are moist and flavorful muffins made with ripe bananas and chocolate chips. They combine the sweetness of bananas with the rich taste of chocolate, making them a popular choice for breakfast or as a snack. The muffins are typically easy to make, requiring basic ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, and of course, mashed ripe bananas and chocolate chips. They are baked until golden brown and are enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 egg, beaten

• 1/3 cup butter, melted

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.

2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In another bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, sugar, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

6. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
