    Egg large or Flaxseed egg
  • 1/2 cup
    Milk whole or Almond milk
  • 2
    Banana ripe or Applesauce
  • 1 tsp
    Vanilla extract pure or Almond extract
  • 1.5 cup
    Flour all-purpose or Whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup
    Sugar granulated or Brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp
    Salt fine or Sea salt

Instructions

1

Prepare the oven and muffin tin

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with liners.

Using muffin liners makes cleanup easier and ensures the muffins release cleanly.

2

Combine the wet ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth, then whisk in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.

Ensure the bananas are fully mashed for a smoother batter.

Ingredients needed for this step

banana egg milk vanilla extract
3

Mix the dry ingredients

In another bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps.

Ingredients needed for this step

flour sugar salt baking powder baking soda
4

Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Overmixing can make the muffins dense instead of fluffy.

Ingredients needed for this step

flour sugar salt baking powder baking soda banana egg milk vanilla extract
5

Add the chocolate chips

Fold in the chocolate chips gently.

Reserve a few chocolate chips to sprinkle on top for presentation.

6

Fill the muffin tin

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.

Fill each cup about 3/4 full for nicely domed muffins.

Ingredients needed for this step

7

Bake the muffins

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Check the muffins at the 18-minute mark to avoid overbaking.

Ingredients needed for this step

8

Cool the muffins

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cooling on a wire rack prevents the bottoms from becoming soggy.
