- 3 bananas very ripe
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (approximately)
Instructions
- Mix butter and sugar: In a large bowl, combine ½ cup melted butter and 1 cup sugar until well blended.
- Add eggs: Beat in 2 eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth.
- Mash bananas: Mash 3 very ripe bananas thoroughly and fold them into the wet mixture.
- Add lemon juice: Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice to enhance the flavor and help prevent banana browning.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Mix dry with wet: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in mini chocolate chips, reserving some to sprinkle on top of the muffins.
- Fill muffin pan: Spoon the batter into a well-greased mini muffin pan, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle remaining mini chocolate chips on top.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes or until the sides are golden brown and tops are no longer moist to the touch.
- Cool and serve: Let the muffins cool thoroughly before popping them out of the pan. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- To make banana bread loaf, use the same batter in a loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze cooled muffins in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- Reheat frozen or refrigerated muffins in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for a fresh-baked taste.
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- If desired, substitute mini chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit.
