- 2 eggs
- 3 bananas very ripe
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- mini chocolate chips 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar until well blended and smooth.
- Add Eggs: Crack the eggs into the mixture and stir thoroughly to incorporate them completely.
- Prepare Bananas: Mash the very ripe bananas in a separate bowl, then stir them into the wet mixture until evenly combined.
- Incorporate Lemon Juice: Add the tablespoon of lemon juice to the batter and mix well to balance the flavors.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually stir them into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold mini chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly throughout.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter into a well-greased mini muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full. Sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips on top for extra sweetness.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin pan in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 18 minutes until the sides turn golden brown and the tops look set but not moist.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before carefully popping them out. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a healthier twist, substitute half of the white sugar with brown sugar or coconut sugar.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make these muffins gluten-free.
- Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum moisture and natural sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter to prevent dense muffins.
- Mini chocolate chips can be replaced with chopped nuts or dried fruit for variation.
- Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; check muffins for doneness using a toothpick.
