Banana chocolate chip muffins

People can’t get enough of this recipe – the number of people who’ve said they’re the best banana chocolate chip muffins they’ve ever made overwhelms me! They’re scrumptious, easy to make and a good one for the kids to help out with – since you really just melt, stir and go! I didn’t use muffin cases for these; I just buttered and floured the tins, old-school styles. It’s up to you what you do.

Prep time – 15 minutes
Cooking time – 20-25 minute
Makes 12-16 muffins

 

Ingredients

½ cup milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
200g butter, cubed
¾ cup brown sugar
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2 free-range eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 very ripe medium bananas, mashed
¾ cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips

Method

Preheat the oven to 200c regular bake.  Grease a 12-hole muffin pan and dust with flour. Shake out excess.

Add the milk and lemon juice to a non-metallic bowl or mug and leave to sit for a few minutes until needed – it will go thick and curdle.

Place the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over a medium-low heat until only just melted (or, microwave in a glass or ceramic bowl for 90 seconds on high). Remove from the heat.

Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a mixing bowl and stir to combine

Add the eggs to another mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Add the melted butter and sugar, sour milk mixture and vanilla, and whisk to combine evenly.

Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a whisk from the centre in a circular motion until it all comes together to form a batter – it won’t go completely smooth, so don’t over-mix it. Fold through the banana and chopped chocolate.

Fill the muffin tins to the top (you may need to cook the muffins in two batches).

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden. Cool for 15 minutes in the tin before trying to get them out.

 

Tips

  • To make these as mini muffins, reduce the cooking time to about 10-15 minutes.
  • These muffins can be frozen once cooled, and popped in lunchboxes in the morning to thaw in time for morning tea.
  • Gluten-free flour mix without raising agent can be substituted instead for flour.

    This is a fab recipe - thank you! Fail safe :) Turns out perfectly delicious every time - even when I make them egg and dairy free. Still works, still delicious.

    This is our new favourite banana chocolate chip muffin recipe. Made for the first time this week and we are anxiously waiting for the next bunch of bananas to ripen so we can them make again. Great defrosted for kids lunchboxes. Simply delicious!

    I didn't have lemon juice so used lime instead. Used half cup of dark chocolate chips and half cup of white chocolate buttons. SUPERB!! Soured milk makes a huge improvement to muffins. Thanks Chelsea.

    I have made these muffins probably 4 times now and the recipe is perfect! You can also make them into mini-muffins to freeze and put into lunch boxes (makes heeeeeaps!).

    These are amazing muffins! They have become my 8 year olds 'signature dish' - he loves making them. Back in lockdown this week in Auckland, so he made them this morning for a homeschooling activity:) yum!

    Every process of this recipe received a special “touch” from my 2 year old yet turned out beautifully - so fluffy and moist. Cheers!

    I just made these but with mashed feijoas from our freezer. I didn't use the choc chips as didn't want to detract from the feijoas. Delicious. Made 6 large muffins.

    Wow, these are AWESOME! Easy to whip up and so damn yummy!! The kids are going to love these for afternoon tea when they arrive home, especially my sweet tooth son Billy 😍 This will be my new go-to muffin recipe!
