BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFIN RECIPE IN THREE STEPS
- Preheat your oven to 200C. Line a muffin or cupcake baking tray with paper liners. Note that this recipe will yield 6 Jumbo muffins when baked with a muffin pan and 12 muffins when baked with a cupcake pan.
- Combine the wet ingredients (mashed bananas, vegetable oil, brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs) until well blended. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder until combined.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Pour muffin batter into muffin pan filling only up to 3/4 full. Bake until browned along the edges and until a skewer comes out mostly clean. (Because of the chocolate chips few streaks of chococlate will adhere to the skewer which is fine)
CREATE THE ULTIMATE BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
- Apart from the simple recipe, a few factors can either enhance or detract from your muffins. The primary focus is on the flavours, so I suggest significantly reducing the amount of sugar. These muffins derive sweetness from the bananas and chocolate chips, so added sugar is not necessary.
- Be careful not to overmix the muffin batter, especially after adding the flour to the wet ingredients, as this can result in dense and chewy muffins. Always mix gently to combine the flour with the wet ingredients using a spatula or spoon.
- If you puree the bananas, the banana flavour may become subtle. Instead, I suggest mashing them with a spoon or fork, leaving a few lumps here and there, to enhance the banana flavour in the muffins.

Ingredients
220 gm all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons brown sugar
3 mashed bananas
2 large eggs or 3 medium-sized eggs
80 ml vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1-2 tsp cinnamon powder
100 gms dark chocolate chips
- Equipment
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 200C. Line your muffin pan with paper paper liners and set it aside for later use.
- In a medium-sized bowl, sift all-purpose flour. Then add baking powder and cinnamon, and mix everything thoroughly. Set this bowl aside for later use in your recipe.
- In another bowl, combine vegetable oil, sugar, vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and eggs. Use a hand whisk to beat the mixture until it becomes frothy and slightly thickened. This will help incorporate air and blend the ingredients for your muffin batter.
- In three batches, mixing at every turn add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.
Add the chocolate chips and mix until equally distributed throughout the butter. - Pour the muffin batter into the muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for the first 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C (340°F) and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
For cupcake baking pans, follow the same procedure but adjust the baking time to 8 minutes at 200°C (390°F) and 15 minutes at 180°C (340°F). - Set the baked muffins aside to cool slightly, then serve and enjoy!
