Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas Super-ripe bananas provide moisture.
- 1/3 cup melted butter Should be melted but not too hot.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- a pinch salt
- 3/4 cup sugar Can reduce sugar slightly if desired.
- 1 large egg Should be at room temperature.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips Mini or regular chips can be used.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- Mix in the baking soda and salt.
- Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the flour until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes
Stir the batter gently to maintain air pockets and achieve tenderness. Microwaving for 10-12 seconds warms them nicely.
