Ingredients

  • 2 cups of all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon of coarse Kosher salt*
  • 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter melted but not hot
  • 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of mashed bananas 2 1/2-3 medium bananas, mashed smooth
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 11.5 oz

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the sugar, melted butter, and mashed bananas in a medium bowl and whisk together until smooth. Next, add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Fold together until almost mixed, but streaks of flour still show.
  • Add the chocolate chunks and finish mixing until the chunks are evenly distributed and no more streaks of flour remain. The batter will be a little thick, do not over mix.
  • Divide the batter among 12 lined muffin cups. The muffin cups will be full, and that's what you want for bakery-style muffins.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-18 minutes until the muffins are golden brown, risen in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

  • If you only have table salt instead of Kosher salt, reduce the amount called for in the recipe by 1/2.
  • If you don’t have enough bananas to equal one cup, you can use Greek yogurt or sour cream to make up the difference.
