These moist homemade chocolate chip banana muffins are tender, flavorful, and perfect for breakfast or snacks. They combine ripe bananas and melty chocolate chips for a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed)
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed (50g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream (can substitute with Greek yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
  3. Add the melted butter, 2 large eggs, ½ cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk gently until combined.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Pour the banana mixture into the flour bowl. Using a rubber spatula, fold the ingredients together gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Save a handful to sprinkle on top if desired.
  7. Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full (yields 12 muffins).
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, starting to check at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture. Room temperature eggs blend better. Adding a few chocolate chips on top before baking gives a pretty, melty finish. Sour cream keeps muffins moist longer. If bananas are not ripe, soften them in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes before mashing.
