Easy Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chips

subheading: So the dry ingredients are well combined, I like to whisk them together in a bowl before combining them with the other muffin ingredients. For the dry ingredients, you will need:

Flour - I prefer to use all-purpose flour, but whole wheat works well in this recipe. You can also substitute your favorite gluten-free flour blend.

Brown sugar - Sugar adds moisture, sweetness, and makes the muffins tender. If you only have white sugar, don’t worry, you can use it instead.

Baking powder and baking soda - These are both leaveners and are what make the muffins rise.

Salt - Just a tiny bit of salt makes these muffins ultra-flavorful.

Mash The Bananas

You don’t need a mixer to mash bananas - a fork works perfectly fine. For this banana muffin recipe, we need 1 ¼ cups of mashed banana. That means you’ll need two large or three medium bananas to make the recipe. I mash them in the bottom of a mixing bowl so I can fit the rest of the muffin ingredients.

Just like when making banana bread, the bananas you use for these easy muffins matter. We want the bananas to be sweet and extra ripe. If your bananas have lots of brown speckles on them or are black, you are well on your way to making the best banana muffins of your life.

I use a fork to mash the bananas. No mixer or fancy equipment required.

Combine The Wet Ingredients

Since I mashed the banana in the bottom of a larger bowl, I add the remaining muffin ingredients directly to them. For the remaining ingredients, you will need

Melted butter - Butter adds a luscious, buttery flavor to the muffins. For banana bread without butter, you can substitute oil. Muffins with oil won’t taste as rich, but the texture will be light and fluffy.

Egg - An egg adds structure and tenderness to the muffins. For eggless banana muffins, swap the egg for a flax egg (I’ve provided instructions in the notes section of the recipe).

Vanilla extract - I barely bake anything sweet without a splash of vanilla extract. It adds richness and a sweetness that sugar doesn’t really provide.

Melted butter, egg, and vanilla makes these simple banana muffins tender, buttery, and delicious.
