Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
These banana chocolate chip muffins just might be the perfect recipe (if I’m allowed to say so myself). These are soft, super moist, filled with delicious banana bread flavors – but in fluffy muffin form and filled with chocolate chips. They feel rustic and homey, and they leave your kitchen smelling seriously divine.
This recipe is actually thanks to a dear friend who messaged me a few days ago asking about making my Banana Bread. She ended up baking hers into muffins (genius) – making me realize I needed a true banana muffin recipe on Just So Tasty. So here goes.
It’s such a simple recipe with just the right balance of banana and chocolate. We love to have the choco banana muffins for breakfast and for snacking throughout the day. So yummy and delish!
You just mix ’em up in less than 5 minutes and bake for 20 minutes.
They come out super fluffy, moist and Perfect-O!
You’re going to love the flavor of these muffins first and foremost. They have the perfect banana bread taste that’s sweet, mellow and deliciously banana-y. The banana is complemented by lots of vanilla and brown sugar for even more flavor. And last but not least – there’s tons of chocolate chips in every bite.
Melty chocolate chips and bananas are so delicious together – but if you’re feeling overzealous you could also add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts for that salty & sweet combo. (PS we’re using butter because buttery, fluffy, muffin deliciousness is…. well buttery delicious).
They smell so good baking in the oven and even better going into your mouth!
Bananas and chocolate are like a perfect match made in heaven!
I used Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips in these yummy choco banana muffins because I love Ghirardelli!
Absolutely Perfect for snacking, Perfect for breakfast, Perfect for anytime!
