Delightful mini banana chocolate chip muffins that are perfectly moist and sweet, ideal for breakfast, snack, or dessert. These bite-sized treats combine ripe bananas with melty mini chocolate chips for a deliciously comforting flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 overripe bananas, mashed (about 3/4 cup)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup golden or granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, plus more for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of muffins.
  2. Make batter: In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly. Whisk in the sugar, then add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring well to combine. Next, stir in the flour and baking soda until just incorporated. Fold in the mashed bananas gently to maintain moisture and texture. Finally, add the mini chocolate chips and stir lightly to distribute evenly.
  3. Fill muffin cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each almost full to maximize their size. Optionally, sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips on top of each muffin for a decorative and extra chocolaty finish.
  4. Bake muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean when done and muffins should be golden brown on top.
  5. Cool muffins: Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes to set. Then carefully transfer the mini muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular chocolate chips if mini size is unavailable.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Consider adding a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter to balance flavors.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
