Tips for making this recipe
These Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins use super simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Plus they are the perfect way to use up your over ripe bananas.
This recipe only uses ONE BOWL to save you from all the dishes. Read through my tips so you can make the best banana chocolate chip muffins ever!
- Spoon and level the flour into your measuring cup. Instead of using your measuring cup to scoop flour right out of the bag, use a big spoon to shovel the flour into your measuring cup, then use the handle of the spoon or the flat edge of a knife to level off any excess. This helps to get a more accurate measurement and prevent using too much flour which will make these muffins more dense.
- Use any neutral tasting oil you have on hand. I usually have olive oil handy and I don’t find the taste too overpowering, but I’ve also used canola with great results.
- Optional add ins: shredded coconut, chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans, white chocolate or peanut butter chips.
- You could omit the chocolate chips and use alternate add ins, however I love the addition of chocolate with the banana flavour!
