Instructions
-
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them lightly.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, milk, and mashed bananas. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved and everything is well combined.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
-
Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.

Add Butter and Chocolate Chips: Pour in the melted butter and fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
