Key Ingredients

• banana: Use very ripe bananas as the most delicious muffin (brown and spotted muffins are perfect).
• flour: I used all-purpose flour in these muffins, but I used whole wheat flour and they were great. You can also replace your favorite gluten-free flour mixture.
• Baking powder and baking soda: Helped our muffin rise, the brown was nice.
• butter: I like using butter when making banana muffins. It’s different in flavor!
• brown sugar: Make our muffin moist and tender inside. You can replace granular sugar, but the muffin will lose a little moisture.
• Egg: Add structure and tenderness to the muffin. For egg-free banana muffins, swap the eggs for flax eggs or aquafaba.
• Vanilla extract: Make our muffins taste better!
• Chocolate Chips: I use mini chocolate chips in these banana muffins, but the chopped chocolate, chocolate bars and regular chocolate chips are all good.

How to Make the Best Banana Muffins

These simple banana muffins blend together quickly and you don’t need any exquisite equipment to make them. So whether you’re baking all the time or baking for the first time, I promise you’ll be a banana muffin baking superstar right away!

You don’t need a blender to mash the bananas. The fork works very well. This banana muffin recipe requires 1¼ cup mashed potatoes, which means you need two large or three medium bananas. I mashed them on the bottom of the mixing bowl.

Just like when making banana bread, it’s important that you use it for these simple muffins. We hope the banana is sweet and ripe. If there are a lot of brown or black spots on the banana, you can do the best banana muffin.

First stir all the dry ingredients together (flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt). First stir them together, making sure the baking powder, baking soda and salt are distributed in the muffin batter. In another bowl, whisk the mashed banana, melted butter, eggs and vanilla until combined.

Then, stir this mixture into a bowl with flour. When the muffin batter is fused together, you will no longer see flour stripes, stir the chocolate chips. Then, distribute the batter between the muffin cup and baking!

I bake the muffins in a 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes. They are ready to come out of the oven when inserting a toothpick and cleaning the toothpick or gently pushing the side of the muffin and bounce back.
