Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/4 – 1/2 | Butter |
| 1 | Granulated sugar |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 2 | Ripe bananas |
| 2 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/2 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1/2 cup | Milk |
| 1/2 cup | Chopped pecans |
| 1 cup | Mini chocolate chips |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla extract |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Grease a muffin pan or line with paper liners.
-
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
-
Mash Bananas: Mash the ripe bananas until smooth, then beat them into the butter-sugar mixture until well combined.
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until evenly combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the banana mixture, stirring until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
-
Fold in Nuts and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chopped pecans, mini chocolate chips, and vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
-
Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!
These Banana Nut Chip Muffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
