Ingredients in Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe

These ingredients are classic and simple. I bet that you have most of them already in your kitchen, ready to go! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.

• Overripe Mashed Bananas: The bananas add in natural sweetness, moisture, and of course, banana flavor.
• Large Egg: Leave your egg out while you are preparing the ingredients so that when it’s time to mix it in, it’s room temperature.
• Sour Cream: This ingredient contributes to moist texture and adds a subtle tanginess.
• Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla will make these muffins nice and sweet.
• Unsalted Butter (melted): This adds in a richness and flavor to the banana chocolate chip muffins.
• Vegetable oil: This, in addition to the bananas, keeps the muffins nice and moist.
• Brown Sugar: I love brown sugar and how it always adds in a deep, sweet flavor.
• Sugar: Keeps these nice and sweet!
• Flour: I used all purpose flour in this recipe.
• Baking Soda and Baking Powder: These act as leavening agents keeping a light and airy texture.
• Salt: Salt enhances all of the flavors in the recipe.
• Milk Chocolate Chips: You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips if you prefer!

Instructions for Making Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

These banana chocolate chip muffins are next level and you will love every single bite. My kiddos eat these up so I like to double the batch and save some for later!

1. Prep the oven and the pan: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a muffin liner with pan spray and, if desired, line it with muffin liners.
2. Combine wet ingredients and sugars: Add the mashed bananas, egg, sour cream, vanilla, butter, oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until combined.
3. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl and whisk until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips by hand. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan until each muffin well is ⅔ of the way full.
5. Bake and cool: Bake for 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of a muffin. Let the muffins cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
