Moist, chocolatey, easy-to-make Mini Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are bite-sized perfection. With pantry staples and some overripe bananas, you can have these delicious muffins in a matter of minutes!
Bite-Sized Banana Bliss
Perfect for a quick breakfast or a yummy after school snack, these Mini Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are bite-sized bliss! The muffins are soft and moist, chocolatey and just the right amount of sweet. Eat ’em warm out of the oven or keep them in a sealed container for handy snacking. I like to keep these on hand for hungry kiddos to help themselves. They’re so easy to make and everyone comes back for more!
I love that the ingredients are for the most part, pantry staples. If you have some overripe bananas on hand, you could be eating muffins in no time! Chocolate chips, flour, baking soda, butter, egg, vanilla and sugar. So simple and so delicious. A sweet little note about sugar: I made this batch of muffins with regular granulated sugar. In the past, I’ve also made them with Domino Golden Sugar and y’all, that is one scrumptious sugar. It tastes like a cross between granulated sugar and brown sugar, with a subtle hint of molasses that makes everything so incredibly delicious. As you can see here, granulated sugar works great, too!
How to Make Mini Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
First, preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan generously with non-stick cooking spray.
Then, in a large bowl, melt the butter and let cool slightly. Whisk in the sugar then the eggs and vanilla. Then stir in the flour and baking soda. Fold in the mashed bananas until just combined. Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
Once combined, fill each prepared muffin cup almost full with batter. Garnish the top of the batter with some mini chocolate chips, if desired.
Bake the muffins for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
