Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup butter melted
- 2 eggs
- 3 bananas very ripe
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- mini chocolate chips (about ½ cup plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Mix butter and sugar. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar until well incorporated.
- Add eggs. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Add bananas. Mash the ripe bananas and stir them into the wet mixture evenly.
- Stir in lemon juice. Add the lemon juice and mix to combine.
- Add dry ingredients. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
- Fold in chocolate chips. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips into the batter.
- Prepare muffin pan. Spoon the batter into a well-greased mini muffin pan, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake muffins. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes or until the sides are golden brown and the tops are no longer moist.
- Cool and serve. Allow muffins to cool slightly before popping them out of the pan. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- To make banana bread instead, pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit 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 muffins in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore freshness.
- Using very ripe bananas enhances the sweetness and moisture of the muffins.
- The lemon juice prevents the bananas from browning and adds a subtle tang.
