How to Make Chocolate Chip Banana Muffin Tops

Set the oven to 350 degrees.

Use non-stick cooking spray to grease a muffin top pan or sheet pan.

Add the butter and sugars into a medium-sized mixing bowl, and use an electric mixer to cream together until light and fluffy.

Add in the eggs, bananas, vanilla extract, and buttermilk into the batter and mix until combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour the finished muffin batter into the prepared pan and fill up each section about 3/4 full. (if you use a sheet, add 1-2 tablespoonfuls of batter, depending on the size you want, to make each top.)

Place in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for 15 minutes or until a tester placed in the center comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes in the pans.

Transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to cool thoroughly.

Serve and Enjoy!

Do I Need a Special Pan to Make Muffin Tops?

Can I Add Nuts to These Banana Muffins?

It is very possible for you to add other things to this recipe like Nuts. However, these Banana muffins are so good by themselves and I always recommend trying them out before adding or taking anything out. But, you can add nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts.
