Create bakery-style, fluffy banana chocolate chip muffins that stay incredibly moist. This easy, one-bowl recipe uses ripe bananas and Greek yogurt for a tender crumb, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula only until the flour streaks disappear. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the moist banana muffins secret, use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black.
  • To achieve bakery style height, fill the muffin cups almost to the top and start baking at a higher temperature (400°F) for the first 5 minutes before reducing the temperature to 350°F for the remainder of the bake time.
  • This recipe makes 12 standard muffins, perfect for a small batch bake.
