Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins (Soft, Moist & Bakery-Style)


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: extra chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, mash bananas. Stir in sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine: Add dry ingredients to wet; stir just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Fill: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (fill almost to top for tall domes). Sprinkle with extra chips if desired.
  6. Bake 18–22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
💡 Pro Tips:
– Use very ripe bananas (lots of brown spots!) for maximum sweetness and moisture.
– For extra fluffiness, let batter rest 10 minutes before baking.
– Store in an airtight container up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
