Print Recipe

These moist homemade banana bread muffins with chocolate chips are quick and easy to make, perfect for breakfast or a snack. They feature ripe bananas and sour cream for tenderness, with melty semi-sweet chocolate chips in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream (can substitute with Greek yogurt)
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps left. Set aside.
  3. Add ½ cup melted and cooled unsalted butter, ½ cup sour cream, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until fully blended and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two additions. Gently fold with a spatula or wooden spoon—do not overmix. The batter should be thick but a little lumpy.
  6. Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips just until evenly distributed.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Start checking at 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they’re done.
  9. Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and moist. Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and flavor. If bananas are not ripe, soften them in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes. A splash of milk can be added if batter is too thick. Use semi-sweet chocolate chips for balanced sweetness. Sour cream or Greek yogurt is key for moistness.
