Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup optional: chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Fold in the chocolate chips and, if desired, the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
