These muffins combine the classic flavors of banana and peanut butter with a delightful chocolate chip twist, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even baking and the right texture.
Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
Using liners makes cleanup easier and muffins easier to remove.
In a medium-sized bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the milk, egg, and peanut butter, and whisk until well combined.
Ensure the bananas are fully mashed for a smoother batter.
In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Mixing dry ingredients separately ensures even distribution.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Reserve a few chocolate chips to sprinkle on top for presentation.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
Fill each cup about 3/4 full for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check for doneness a few minutes early to avoid overbaking.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a rack prevents sogginess from trapped steam.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Pair with a hot beverage for a comforting treat.
