🧈 Ingredients
Here are the ingredients needed to make these mini banana muffins with chocolate chips.
Ingredient Notes
- Butter - This recipe was tested with salted butter but you could make it with unsalted butter. Just add ¼ teaspoon of salt to the recipe to ensure proper flavor development.
- Bananas - You will need to use bananas that have ripened nicely on the counter for the best moist texture and sweet flavor.
- Flour - I used a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour for a bit more fiber but you could use all whole wheat or all-purpose.
- Chocolate Chips - Mini chocolate chips are better suited proportionately to the mini muffins but you could use regular-sized chocolate chips or chopped chocolate instead.
See the recipe card for the full list of ingredients with measurements.
📃 Instructions
Step 1: Cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla.
Step 2: Cream together until incorporated. It is okay if the mixture looks a little grainy.
Step 3: Whisk together the flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Step 4: Add to the combined wet ingredients along with the mini chocolate chips and mix on low speed just until incorporated.
Step 5: Fill each greased mini muffin pan to the top with batter. Bake in a preheated oven for 8-12 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

Love these muffins! Perfect for an easy afternoon snack or breakfast on-the-go. They aren't too sweet but have just the right touch of sweetness to satisfy a sugar craving while still allowing you to feel semi-healthy. 😊
