Recipe- Soft And Moist Banana Muffins

Soft and moist Banana Muffins with melty chocolate chips are the ultimate treat. Banana chocolate chip muffins are a great way to use overripe bananas and a fresh spin on classic banana bread.

Chocolate chips make everything better! They add great moisture and a gooey chocolate chip is the equivalent of melty cheese in the dessert world. One look at our chocolate chip cookies and you’ll agree.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, (8 Tbsp), softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temp, lightly beaten
3 bananas, very ripe, coarsely mashed with a fork
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, measured correctly
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided

Method

* In a mixing bowl, cream together 8 Tbsp softened butter with 2/3 cup sugar. Add 2 lightly beaten eggs.

* Add 3 mashed bananas and 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix until blended.

* In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix the dry ingredients into wet ingredients until incorporated.

* Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips. Divide batter evenly into your 12-count muffin tin and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips evenly over the tops.
