Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
  3. In another bowl, mash the bananas, then add granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture gradually, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tops should be golden brown.
  8. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a healthier version, swap half the flour with whole wheat or oat flour, use unsweetened applesauce instead of oil, and opt for dark chocolate chips. You can also add flax seeds or walnuts for extra nutrition. These muffins freeze well and are perfect for make-ahead snacks.
