I like that banana chocolate chip muffins don’t take long to mix up, and because they’re small-format they bake in less than 20 minutes. It’s like chocolate chip banana bread, but faster! The resulting treats are moist, flavorful and enhanced with cinnamon and vanilla.<\/p>\n
These banana muffins are small but have big crowd appeal. Bring them to share for breakfast at the office or to a brunch gathering, or tuck them in lunch boxes. Because they freeze well, bake a batch when it’s convenient and thaw one when you’re ready for a treat.<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.<\/p>\n In another bowl, whisk the egg, bananas, melted butter and vanilla until blended.<\/p>\n Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.<\/p>\n Fold in<\/a> the chocolate chips.<\/p>\n Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full.<\/p>\n Bake the muffins for 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool in the pan for five minutes, then remove the muffins to a wire rack. Serve warm.<\/p>\n Let muffins cool completely before storing. Place the muffins in an airtight container with a paper towel on the bottom. For best results, place a paper towel atop the muffins, too.<\/p>\n Properly stored, muffins will last for up to four days. However, they’ll be most delicious on the first and second days.<\/p>\n Yes. Place the muffins in a zip-close bag or another airtight freezer container. Use within three months.<\/p>\n This is one of my favorite baking tips! You can quickly ripen bananas by heating them in the oven, peel and all. Some people do this at a pretty low temperature, but I like to heat them at 300\u00b0 until the skins have blackened and the fruit is soft, around 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n This recipe only calls for baking soda, but if you don’t have any, use baking powder. Because baking powder is weaker, you’ll want to use four times as much, which amounts to 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon in this recipe. You could also leave out the leavening entirely, which would give you a denser finished product.<\/p>\n These muffins should be naturally moist due to the inclusion of ripe bananas, butter and egg. In fact, you’ll be storing them with paper towels in order to absorb excess moisture so that the muffins don’t get too soft.<\/p>\n Tangy cream cheese is an amazing complement to sweet breads and muffins, and I love to top these muffins with dollops of cream cheese frosting<\/a>. Peanut butter, or a peanut butter buttercream<\/a>, would be wonderful, too.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For anyone who loves banana bread but doesn’t have an hour for baking,

Banana Chip Muffin Tips<\/h2> \r\n\r\n
How do I quickly ripen bananas?<\/h3> \r\nWhen baking with bananas, use ones that are ripe (or even overripe) to yield the best flavor. If you have a day or two to spare, place bananas and an apple, avocado, peach or tomato in a brown paper bag and keep on your counter. This will trap the ethylene gas of the fruits and quicken the ripening process. To ripen bananas even faster, place them in their peels on a baking sheet and warm in a 250\u00b0 oven for 15-20 minutes. Check out this article for more banana ripening tips<\/a>. \r\n\r\n
Do you have to use baking soda in banana bread?<\/h3> \r\nBoth baking soda and baking powder are chemical leaveners that provide lift to your baked goods. If you want some rise in your banana bread and don\u2019t have baking soda handy, try substituting baking powder. Baking powder is about 4 times weaker than baking soda. So for this recipe, use 4 teaspoons baking powder as a substitute for the 1 teaspoon baking soda. If the rise is not important to you, you can leave it out completely. Learn more about the difference between baking soda and baking powder<\/a>.\r\n\r\n
How do I keep my muffins moist?<\/h3> \r\nTo keep your muffins moist and fresh tasting after baking, let them cool completely on a rack. Then, store them in an airtight container lined with paper towels. Before securing the lid, gently place another piece of paper towel on top of the muffins to absorb any excess moisture. \r\n\r\n
How long do muffins last?<\/h3> \r\nMuffins last for 2-4 days when stored on the counter in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze them in an airtight freezer container for up to 3 months. Get more tips for storing your favorite baked goods<\/a>.","Metadescription":null,"DigitalHeadnotes":"These banana chocolate chip muffins are one of the first things my husband gets hungry for when he\u2019s home from deployment.
