Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips plus extra for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter until combined.
  3. Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  4. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few tablespoons for topping the muffins.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and tops are golden brown. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness. For bakery-style tall muffin tops, fill the cups generously and bake at a slightly higher temperature. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
