• ½ cup of butter, at room temperature
• ⅔ cup of granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup of sour cream
• 3 small ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups of all purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon of Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• ¾ cup of semi sweet chocolate morsels, divided

How to make these banana chocolate chip muffins

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C).

First, mix the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Then add the sour cream and egg and mix until smooth.

Next add the mashed bananas and pure vanilla extract. Don’t use imitation, you will want the flavor of pure vanilla in these muffins.

Whisk your flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Then add this mixture to the wet ingredients.

Don’t mix it too much. You will end up with tough muffins if you do!

Now fold in the semi sweet chocolate chips. Be sure to leave some to sprinkle over the top of the muffins too!

This recipe makes 12 good sized muffins. I filled my paper muffin cups right to the top, after spraying them with some cooking spray so that they will release from the paper cups easily when done.  

Now it’s time to sprinkle the extra chocolate chips. This makes for a wonderful look to the muffin when they are baked!

Put them into the oven for 25 minutes and then let them rest for a bit on a wire rack before serving. These banana chocolate chip muffins rose beautifully and make nice really plump muffins!

What could be quicker for breakfast than one of these tasty banana chocolate chip muffins and your morning coffee? 

The banana chocolate chip muffins are moist, and plump and full of the sweetness of ripe bananas and that delicious chocolate.  This is what I call a breakfast!  I can’t wait to take a bite!

These muffins also make a wonderful addition to a weekend morning brunch.  Instead of coffee, why not have mimosas with them?
