Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed or pureed
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (65g) brown sugar, packed
  • ⅓ cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (135g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your mini muffin pan or line it with mini paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash or puree the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the bananas. Whisk together until combined and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift or whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) carefully to spread evenly.
  7. Spoon the batter into each mini muffin cup, filling about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes with a toothpick. Muffins are done when toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture. Fold dry ingredients gently to avoid tough muffins. Start checking muffins at 12 minutes to prevent drying out. Cool muffins on a rack to avoid soggy bottoms. For gluten-free, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend. For vegan, substitute egg with flax egg, butter with coconut oil, and milk with plant-based milk.
