- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- mini chocolate chips (quantity to preference, about 1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Mix butter and sugar: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, stirring until well blended.
- Add eggs: Crack the eggs into the mixture and beat thoroughly to incorporate.
- Mash bananas and add lemon juice: In a separate bowl, mash the very ripe bananas and stir in the lemon juice, then add this to the wet mixture, mixing well.
- Add dry ingredients: Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add them to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips into the batter.
- Prepare muffin pans: Grease a mini muffin pan and spoon the batter into the wells, filling about ¾ full. Sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top.
- Bake: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are no longer moist.
- Cool and serve: Allow the mini muffins to cool in the pan briefly, then remove and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
- If you prefer, substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
- You can omit chocolate chips for plain banana bread muffins or replace with nuts for a crunch.
- Make sure bananas are very ripe for best natural sweetness.
- Use fresh lemon juice to prevent the bananas from browning.
- Grease the muffin pan well or use mini muffin liners to avoid sticking.
