Main Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 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: Combine the melted butter and sugar in a large bowl until well blended.
- Add Eggs: Beat the eggs into the butter and sugar mixture until smooth.
- Incorporate Bananas and Lemon Juice: Mash the very ripe bananas thoroughly, then stir them along with the lemon juice into the wet ingredients.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold these into the wet mixture just until combined.
- Mix in Chocolate Chips: Stir the mini chocolate chips into the batter evenly for sweet chocolate bursts throughout.
- Prepare Muffin Pan: Lightly grease a mini muffin pan. Spoon the batter into each cup about ¾ full to allow room for rising. Sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips on top of each muffin for a decorative touch.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes. Look for golden brown edges and ensure the tops are not moist to confirm doneness.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan briefly, then carefully pop them out. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- Greasing the muffin pan well prevents sticking and helps easy removal of muffins.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and tender.
- Mini chocolate chips inside and on top add extra texture and chocolate flavor.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
