Steps

Preheat oven to 350˚ F and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners.
In a mixing bowl, cream together 8 Tbsp softened butter with 2/3 cup sugar. Add 2 lightly beaten eggs.
Add 3 mashed bananas and 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix until blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until incorporated.
Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips. Divide batter evenly into your 12-count muffin tin and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips evenly over the tops. Bake at 350˚F on the center rack for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a baking rack to cool to room temperature.

Once again I’m making one of your recipes. I really like what you post. The muffins are great, mine with toasted walnuts. Thank you!

These banana muffins are so delicious! I usually use one less banana for a lighter banana flavor and omit the chocolate chips. It tastes even better with some cinnamon mixed in also. I have made these several times, and we love them!

I've made your banana choc. chip bread several times, always a hit. I decided to make the muffins today.....so good!! Wonderful recipe. I admit I add just a little extra chocolate chips because, well, why not? Lol.

Wow these banana and chocolate chip muffins were delicious. Mine were chocolate coloured not as light as yours perhaps by the cocoa powder I used. Will definitely make again!

Hello there, I just made these muffins. I made some large ones and I made mini muffins. Very, very good. I had 4 small ripe bananas. I just added some cinnamon to the batter. Then I sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on top. Thank you for your great recipe.
