Print Recipe

These muffins are tender, sweet, and comforting bites with pockets of melty chocolate, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. Made with simple ingredients and ripe bananas, they stay moist thanks to sour cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (130g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth but with some texture.
  4. Add melted and cooled butter, sugar, egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir gently until combined.
  5. Add the dry flour mixture to the wet banana mixture in batches. Fold carefully with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  6. Gently stir in the chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
  7. Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to evenly portion batter into the muffin tin, filling about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tops should be golden and spring back lightly when touched.
  9. Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Use ripe bananas for best moisture and sweetness. Let eggs come to room temperature before mixing. If tops brown too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Sour cream adds moistness and tang; substitute with Greek yogurt if needed.
