Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup butter melted
- 2 eggs
- 3 bananas very ripe
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- mini chocolate chips (quantity to taste, about ½ cup)
Instructions
- Mix Butter and Sugar: Combine the melted butter and sugar thoroughly in a mixing bowl until well blended.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs into the sugar and butter mixture, beating until smooth.
- Mash Bananas: Mash the ripe bananas until smooth and stir them into the wet mixture.
- Add Lemon Juice: Stir in the tablespoon of lemon juice to add brightness and prevent banana browning.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt; fold gently to combine without overmixing.
- Stir in Chocolate Chips: Add mini chocolate chips to the batter and mix lightly to distribute them evenly.
- Prepare Muffin Pan: Grease a mini muffin pan well and spoon the batter into each cup, filling about 3/4 full. Sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips on top for extra texture and flavor.
- Bake Muffins: Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes or until the sides turn golden brown and the tops are no longer moist.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan briefly, then remove and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- To make banana bread, use the same batter and bake in a loaf pan for 1 hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze cooled muffins in freezer-safe bags or containers for up to 3 months.
- Reheat frozen muffins in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for fresh-baked warmth.
- Overmixing the batter can make muffins tough; mix just until combined.
