Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled (60 grams))
• 2 tablespoons canola, vegetable, or melted coconut oil ((30 ml))
• 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar ((135 grams))
• 1 large egg (at room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas ((375 grams; about 3 large or 4 medium bananas))
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (measured correctly (190 grams))
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ((180 grams))

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with muffin liners and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and mashed banana until fully combined.

3. 3

   In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together until just combined, making sure not to over mix the batter. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

5. 5

   Evenly distribute the batter between all 12 liners in the muffin pan. If desired, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each one.

6. 6

   Bake for 17 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Carefully remove the muffins from the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
