For the best banana muffins, use very ripe bananas. In fact, if you can wait a day for browned, overripe, and speckled bananas, they are even better. Just before baking, we throw in mini chocolate chips. You can leave them out or swap for regular chocolate chips or fruit like blueberries or strawberries.

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons (70 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 ½ cups (195 grams) all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (95 grams) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 ripe medium bananas, mashed with a fork, about 1 ¼ cups mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (130 grams) mini or regular-size chocolate chips

    Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, mashed banana, egg, and vanilla until blended.
