Key Ingredients You’ll Need
Butter: It is best to use unsalted butter for this recipe. Using unsalted butter will give you control of the flavoring in the recipe. This will allow the rawest and most natural flavor to come out in the recipe.
Brown Sugar: This is great for making adding more moisture to the muffins. We all love delectable muffins, and this ingredient will do just that.
Banana: These will be mashed to blend all throughout the muffin so that every bite tastes like bananas!
Chocolate Chips or Chunks: These will give you bursts of chocolatey flavor in the recipes. Chocolate and bananas taste so good together!
How To Make Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Step 1. In a small pan, add the butter and brown on medium heat and stir occasionally. Take off the heat and if you see small brown specks begin to form, add to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2. Combine the browned butter and brown sugar. Put in the egg yolk and vanilla and combine again. Put in the flour, baking powder, and salt and combine again.
Step 3. Add the banana into a separate bowl and mash until there are no chunks. Put it into the batter with the chocolate chunks and combine.
Step 4. Use a lid or cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Step 5. Set the oven to 425 degrees and use cupcake liners to line a cupcake pan. Pour the chilled batter into the prepared pan all the way to the top. Place into the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes.
Step 6. The muffins should begin to rise about 1/4″ to 1/2″ above the liners. Turn the heat down to 350 degrees and continue to bake for another 10-12 minutes until a toothpick placed into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Make sure not to open the oven while baking.
Can I Add Other Add-Ins To Chocolate Chunk Banana Muffins?
I love these chocolate banana muffins just the way they are and you will too! However, if you want to add in something, a great additional ingredient would be nuts! Try nuts like walnuts, almonds, or pecans!
How To Store Chocolate Chunk Banana Muffins?
Place the muffins into an airtight container or Ziploc bag for the best storage method. You can keep these at room temperature or place them in the fridge. They will also last a lot longer if placed in the freezer.
