Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin — tender, moist and tasty muffins with great flavor combination of sweet bananas and chocolate chips. Sweet enough for a light dessert but also perfect for breakfast and after school snack. Comes ready in 30 minutes!
I always have bananas in my pantry. Most of the time, I just left them to ripe until it have few black patches (but still with manageable taste) just so I have an excuse to make whatever desserts I have in my mind.
If you’re looking for some ways to revamp your overly ripe bananas into, I got your back, peeps. You can try this Caribbean Banana Nut Bread , Banana Pineapple Bread, Chocolate Chip Pound Cake and Banana Chocolate Coconut Muffin. All of them are big hit in the family and in my workplace, too.
You can never go wrong with bananas!
They are pretty much accessible here in my area and has a decent price too, so why not grab the opportunity and make it a part of a healthy daily diet, right? But today, we’re skipping that “H” word. Oh yes! Let’s say that again.
My son has been turning me into some sort of baking machine, so evidently, we’ve been consuming a lot of baked goods lately. But no complaints AT ALL cause your girl here loves it too.
These Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe have a short list of ingredients and it’s pretty easy to make, too. You don’t even need to take out your mixer for some help. And you bet, you can always sign me up for any easy baking!
If you have kids in the house, make it a fun activity for them. They’d surely love you for that! If they want to stir the batter, go ahead, let them do so. If they want to add their personal touch into it, let them be.
For this baking session, I let him doll up his Banana Chocolate Muffins to his heart desires. The Kitchen mess is another story for another time!!!
These muffins are also perfect school snacks to add on their snack box or for after-school munch when they get home. Kids really love anything with chocolate chips.
These heavenly muffins will surely make you feel like a baking pro. No fuss baking with short list of ingredients. Plus some huge hugs from your little ones. Awww, those are completely priceless. Happy baking!
Tips and Notes:
- In this recipe, I used the mini chocolate chips on muffins but you may replaced it with the regular semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Feel free to replace the chocolate chips with chopped pecans, walnuts or dried berries. You may also combine it with the chocolate chips for that extra texture on the muffins.
- You may place the batter on paper baking cups but after many attempts I prefer to grease the muffin pan and just pour the batter on it directly. Paper baking cups tend to get the muffin bottom soggy. But if you really want them on baking cups, grease the pan first before putting all the cups.

Moist, and easy to follow directions. I haven’t enjoyed a good banana bread in a while. This will be perfect with my coffee tomorrow.
I baked it in an 8×5 loaf pan for about 50 minutes. I reduced the sugar to 1/4 c brown sugar and 1/8c white sugar and it had the perfect amount of sweetness. I’m Ghanaian and we don’t use so much sugar so the adjustments I made was just right for me. Additionally, I added about 1 Tbsp of cocoa powder and swirled it in half of the batter. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a foolproof banana bread recipe. The only adjustment you might need to make is with the sugar, that’s if you don’t like overly sweet treats.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad it worked out well for you.
Tried it. Delicious!
Wow these look amazing!! I’m curious if they are okay to eat with a paleo diet?
They certainly are not! It contains flour which is a No No in a paleo diet.
