• Rich, chocolaty flavor.
• These moist muffins are full of banana flavor.
• These bakery-style muffins are full of chocolate chips.
• Perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.
• Great for lunches
• A great way to use overripe bananas.

🍌Recipe Ingredients

To make these bakery-style chocolate chip banana muffins, you'll need the following simple ingredients:

🍌 Ingredient Notes

• Ripe bananas. Use overripe bananas - they add natural sweetness.
• Vegetable oil. This helps the muffins to be moist. You can also use avocado oil, coconut oil, or melted butter.
• Cocoa. Adds rich chocolate flavor to the muffins. My favorite is Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
• Yogurt is my secret ingredient. It adds so much moisture. You can use Greek yogurt, regular yogurt, or sour cream. Vanilla yogurt will give you extra flavor.
• Brown sugar. You can also use raw sugar, cane sugar, granulated sugar, or honey.
• Chocolate chips. These are what makes these muffins so delicious. Use semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks.

🥣 How To Make Double Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Step-By-Step instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line muffin tins with paper liners or spray muffin tins with cooking spray.

Step 2: Make your own muffin liners out of parchment paper to get these large bakery-style muffins. Cut squares that are 5-inches x 5-inches. Then, take a glass with the same diameter as your muffin tin and pull the paper down around to shape it. Place liners in a muffin tin (Image 1).

Step 3: Add bananas to a large mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer, potato masher, or fork, mash bananas (Image 2).

Step 4: Add the oil and eggs. Beat well until combined or mix with a wooden spoon. Then, add brown sugar, vanilla extract, and yogurt and mix well (Image 3).

Step 5: In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a spoon until combined (Image 4).

Step 6: Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed with a mixer or by hand until combined. There may be some streaks of flour in the batter. Add chocolate chips and fold in with a spoon or rubber spatula (Image 5).

Step 7: Fill the muffin liners with the thick batter until they are about ⅔ full. Add extra chocolate chips on top of the muffin batter before placing them in the oven if you like (Image 6).

Pro Tip: Use an ice cream scoop to add the batter to the muffin tins - it makes it so much easier!

Step 8: Bake muffins for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Do not overbake (Image 7).

Step 9: Remove muffins carefully from the muffin pan and place them on a wire rack to cool (Image 8).

💭 Expert Tips

• If you don't let them cool, the muffins will stick to the wrapper.

🌡️ Storage Tips

Room Temperature: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Freezer: Wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap, place in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 2 months. Anytime you want one, pull the muffin out of the freezer and let it defrost at room temperature.

Reheating: For that fresh-from-the-oven taste, place an unwrapped frozen muffin in the microwave on High for 20-25 seconds.
