EASY BANANA MUFFINS WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS
For the best banana muffins, use very ripe bananas. In fact, if you can wait a day for browned, overripe, and speckled bananas, they are even better. Just before baking, we throw in mini chocolate chips. You can leave them out or swap for regular chocolate chips or fruit like blueberries or strawberries.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
- Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help to ensure that your muffins are evenly mixed and have a light and fluffy texture.
- Use chocolate chips that you love: You can use any type of chocolate chips that you like in this recipe. Semi-sweet chocolate chips are a classic choice, but you could also use dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or even white chocolate chips.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins until they are just done: Overbaking the muffins will make them dry. Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
