Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter (or oil), egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine the Mixtures: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Fill the Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The tops should be lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
