Ingredients
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup golden brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ripe bananas, mashed
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix wet ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Beat with an electric hand mixer for about 1 minute on medium-low speed until smooth.
Add eggs and vanilla:
Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until well combined.
Add bananas:
In a separate bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Add the mashed bananas to the wet mixture and stir until incorporated.
Combine dry ingredients:
In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
Add mix-ins:
Fold in chopped walnuts and chocolate chips using a spatula.
Fill muffin cups:
Divide batter evenly among muffin liners, filling each nearly full. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for a bakery-style finish.
Bake:
Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve:
Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Sift dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure a soft crumb.
Ripen bananas quickly: Place in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes until blackened, then cool before using.
Use cupcake liners for easy cleanup and storage.
Storage: Keep at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
Variation: Omit nuts for nut-free muffins or replace walnuts with pecans.
