“Yummy and easy”.  

I think ever recipe should start this way so as not to scare people off from trying them!

Most mornings my kids want something fancy for breakfast.  

During the week that rarely happens…with 4 kids I’m always on the look out for something simple that they love.  

I adapted this banana chocolate chip muffins recipe from a Williams and Sonoma one that has walnuts in it… my kids are not walnut fans.  I also simplified the ingredients to use most of what we often have on hand.

Ingredients Needed to Make this Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

• 2 large or 3 small very ripe bananas
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 3/4 cups chocolate chips
• muffin cups & muffin pan

If you like walnuts you can add 3/4 cup of walnuts too!

Step by Step Instructions for How To Make Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Step ONE – Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

Step TWO – Mix Bananas, Oil, Milk & Eggs Together

I usually use my stand mixer to combine the ingredients for my banana chocolate chip muffins recipe.

Mix together ripe bananas, oil, milk and an egg in a bowl.

Step THREE – Add Dry Ingredients to the Banana Mixture

Add dry ingredients (salt, baking soda, flour & sugar) until evenly combined in the batter leaving the chocolate chips (& 3/4 cup walnuts if desired) to the very end.

Step FOUR – Spoon Batter into Muffin Cups

Spoon batter into cups till they are almost level.

If you have a melon baller use if works great to get the right amount of batter into each muffin cup.

*definitely use muffin cups if you have them… It is such a pain to have to clean a muffin pan!

Step FIVE – Bake Your Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Bake 20-25 minutes for large muffins or 10 – 12 minutes if using a mini muffin pan.

You can do a toothpick test if you need to check.

I look for a warm tan color!

Step SIX – Let Muffins Cool on a drying rack

I think these taste delish with a little tab of butter stuck in the middle.

These muffins can be refrigerated and they freeze well too!

I hope this inspires you to make homemade banana chocolate chip muffins for your home!
