Ingredients & Variations
Similar to the ingredients found in a classic banana bread with the addition of chocolate chips!
FLOUR
For this recipe we use all purpose flour. You can also substitute up to 1/3 of the flour with quick oats with great results!
CHOCOLATE CHIPS
Adding chocolate chips makes for the perfect sweet treat. Mini chips, white chocolate chips or even milk chocolate chips will work in this recipe too!
BANANAS
This recipe is a perfect way to use up overripened bananas! If your bananas aren’t quite ready you can ripen them quickly by popping them in a 350°F oven for 10-15 mins wrapped in foil!
You can also add in up to 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to make peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins! Yum!
PRO TIP
When it comes to measuring flour, don’t use your measuring cups to scoop it out of the bag or container, rather use a spoon or scoop to scoop it into this measuring cup. This helps to avoid muffins that are too dense. Check out this How to Measure Flour guide for more helpful tips!
How to Make Banana Muffins
Mixing these treats up will take only a few minutes out of a busy day!
- Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add both kinds of chocolate chips.
- Combine wet ingredients in a bowl. Slowly add dry to wet until just combined (do not overmix).
- Bake until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not over bake.
Muffin Baking Times
- For mini muffins, bake 14 to 16 minutes
- For regular-sized muffins, bake 18 to 20 minutes
- For Texas (jumbo) sized muffins, bake 20 to 22 minutes
How to Store
The best way to store banana chocolate chip muffins is to keep them in a zippered bag or an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep about 5 days.
To freeze, either wrap them individually in a layer of plastic wrap under a layer of aluminum foil or put them in a zippered bag with the date on it and pop them in the freezer! A frozen muffin will be defrosted by lunchtime for a delicious surprise! Easy peasy!

These are the most delicious muffins I’ve ever made. They’re moist and have. great flavor. Thank you!
Enjoyed making your recipe! Thank you for sharing! Everyone loves them!
This recipe is so good! Very easy to follow and turned out delicious. I only had milk chocolate chips so I used them. I added a few to the tops of the muffins when I scooped them into the tray. Extra pretty!
Delicious! Moist, light, and loads of chocolate and banana flavour!
Nice good favor. Easy to put together. I ended up with 12 regular sized muffins.
These were SO GOOD!! i just made them and they’re so moist and chocolatey and were a hit:) I also added a little bit of cinnamon for fun and I think it turned out well, so go for it if you’re a cinnamon fan. Thanks for the recipe!
These were so easy to make with my 3 year old and are absolutely delicious!

This is my go to banana muffin recipe. I’ve tried a bunch of other recipes but these are the kids favourite… with or without chocolate chips. Delicious and easy! Also a go to for feeding a friend in need of some love.

Wow!!! I always come here for your good recipes and they are easy for this busy mom!!! Thank you I made these and they are quickly disappearing. Thank you!!!
Quick, simple and absolutely delicious!
I have made these at least twice now, and each time my coworkers love them! My favorite part is how easy the recipe is. I cut the sugar and use some alternative natural sweeteners, and it comes out great!
Wow wow wow!!! I just made these and they are SO GOOD!!! The most fluffy and moist banana muffins I’ve ever made, hands down! Thank you so much, saving this recipe for sure!!
I make this at least once a week- me and my kiddos devour them! It doubles well also. I use about 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips and bake for 20 minutes. They crown well when you fill flat to the top of the muffin cup!
