Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed overripe bananas (typically 2 large bananas for me)
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled until not warm to the touch
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • 3 Tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten, room temperature preferred
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips plus additional for topping, if desired
  • Granulated sugar for topping, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425F (220C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with liners. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, melted butter, and sugars and stir well.
  • Add buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract and stir until well incorporated.
  • In a separate, medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the dry mixture to the wet and use a spatula to gently fold ingredients together until about 50% combined.
  • Add chocolate chips and fold into the batter until batter is just combined and chips are well distributed.
  • Evenly divide batter into prepared muffin tin. Top with additional chocolate chips and a light sprinkling of granulated sugar, if desired.
  • Place in center rack of 425F (220C) preheated oven. Bake for 8 minutes then, without opening oven door, reduce oven temperature to 350F (175C) and continue to bake another 7-8 minutes, until baked through and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow muffins to cool in pan for 5-10 minutes then carefully transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying (I use a butter knife to gently lift them out of the pan and then pick them up carefully and transfer them).
