Chef Dennis Littley
What could be better than moist Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins warm out of the oven? It's the perfect sweet treat for an easy breakfast or afternoon snack and a great way to use up those bananas sitting on your kitchen counter.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅔ all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups mashed bananas 3-4 large bananas
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Spray a 12-count or jumbo six count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • Mash the banana's using a fork and set aside.
  • Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle (or large bowl and electric hand mixer).
  • Cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Add the mashed bananas, egg and Greek yogurt to the creamed butter.
  • Mix on high speed, until combined. The mixture will look curdled, don't worry.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Do not overmix, this is a very thick batter.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Fill the muffin cups with the batter.
  • Place the muffin pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Place the muffin tin on a wire rack to cool.

Notes

*I like making jumbo muffins, and the recipe makes six. But if you prefer standard-sized muffins, this recipe will make twelve. You can even use a mini muffin pan to make mini muffins. You can also use the recipe to make chocolate chip banana bread.
