Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mashed overripe bananas (about 2–3 medium bananas)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs (room temp)
- 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream (or full-fat Greek yogurt)
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 & ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini or regular semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet and gently fold with a spatula until just combined, don’t overmix! Fold in chocolate chips.
- Allow your batter to rest while you preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners in every other hole to allow for maximum rise. Spray the tops of the pan lightly with cooking spray.
- Divide the batter between 10–12 muffin cups, filling each one to the top for tall domes. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each.
- Start at 425°F for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven, reduce temp to 350°F and bake for 14-16 more minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean with just a few crumbs.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temp.
Notes
- For best results, use overripe bananas.
- Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze muffins for up to 3 months for later enjoyment.
