Ingredients

All-purpose flour (1 1/2 cups)
Baking powder (1 teaspoon)
Baking soda (1/2 teaspoon)
Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
Ripe bananas (3, mashed)
Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, melted)
Granulated sugar (3/4 cup)
Egg (1, large)
Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
Semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This will be your dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. This will be your wet mixture.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins tough.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a scoop or a large spoon, fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. This is a classic test to ensure your muffins are fully baked.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. This helps them hold their shape.
Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the bottoms of the muffins from becoming soggy.
