Ingredients
- 2-3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, optional
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. This will give the muffins their moist and flavorful base.
- Add the melted butter, light brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the wet mixture, then gradually fold in the flour. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender. If using, gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (melted chocolate is okay!).
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
