Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Weekends are all about breakfast foods for me. These Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are moist, but not too sweet and have plenty of chocolate chips. They are perfect for using up overripe bananas and your family will gladly eat them for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.

I kept these muffins really simple and plain so that they are super easy to make, but you could add a streusel topping if you like.

Recipe Tips

Be sure to use really ripe bananas. The bananas add a lot of the moistness and sweetness to the muffins.

Only fill the muffin cups 3/4 of the way full. Any fuller and they will rise and overflow the cups some.

Note: You can mix the batter in a bowl by hand. If you do this, mash the bananas really well with a fork before you mix the wet ingredients together. Or you can use an electric mixer. Then you can just let the mixer mash the bananas.

These muffins can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 days. To prevent them from getting soggy, store them in an airtight container with a layer of paper towels on the bottom and on the top. The paper towels will absorb any moisture that the muffins release.

To freeze, individually wrap the muffins in plastic wrap and store for up to 2 months.
