Description
A recipe for baking a small batch of moist banana muffins with chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Grease or line a standard 4-cup muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, mash the banana well.
- Stir in the sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the four prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If your banana is not very ripe, you can bake it on a baking sheet at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes to soften it before mashing.
- You can substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar for a deeper flavor.
