These mini banana chocolate chip muffins are quick, easy, and freezer-friendly, perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or snack with a moist texture and bursts of chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (75 g)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (65 g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (90 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini muffin pan or line it with mini paper liners.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving a few small lumps for texture.
  3. Add melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir gently until combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the batter in the muffin cups.
  7. Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full (makes about 24 mini muffins).
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. To freeze, place cooled muffins in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid (about 1 hour), then transfer to a freezer bag.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture. Let melted butter cool slightly before mixing with eggs to avoid scrambling. Fold dry ingredients gently to keep muffins light. Flash freeze muffins before storing to prevent sticking. Reheat frozen muffins in toaster oven for best texture.
