Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the mashed bananas to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix here.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing only until you see no streaks of flour remain.
  7. Gently fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas; the browner they are, the better the flavor and moisture will be.
  • You can substitute almond flour for a gluten-free option, though the texture may change slightly.
  • To make this recipe even faster, you can mix the dry ingredients right in with the wet ingredients; just be careful not to overmix the final batter.
  • If you prefer, you can skip the nuts for a nut-free version.
