Banana Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
Quick and easy delicious mini banana chocolate chip muffins made with simple ingredients. Perfect bite size muffins for the whole family that can be made gluten free or dairy free as well!
Equipment
- mini muffin pan(s)
- nonstick baking spray or mini muffin liners
Ingredients
- 285 grams mashed bananas (about 4 small bananas, mash first and then measure!)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick, use dairy free butter for dairy free option*)
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour (or all purpose 1:1 gluten free flour*)
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (use dairy free or omit for dairy free option*)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Prepare mini muffin pan(s) by greasing with nonstick baking spray or lining with mini muffin liners. Melt one stick (½ cup) of unsalted butter and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- Next, mash the ripe bananas - they should be super easy to mash up, that's how you know they are ready! Measure out 285g after they are mashed to ensure you have the right amount.
- Tp the mashed bananas, add in the melted butter, brown sugar and sugar, whisking until combined. Then whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the flour mixture until combined and then fold in the mini chocolate chips. Avoid overmixing!
- Scoop a little over a tablespoon into each mini muffin well and bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes. Muffins are done when baked through and they have a perfect little muffin dome with a lightly golden top and golden brown around the edges.
- Let the mini banana muffins cool for around 5-10 minutes in the pan before releasing them by using a fork or butter knife slid down the side of the muffins to pop them out! Cool completely on a cooling rack or plate.
- Store in an airtight container or bag. Enjoy!
