Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and brown sugar. Add the bananas and vanilla extract; whisk to combine.
  • Sprinkle baking soda, baking powder, and salt over top. Whisk until well blended.
  • Stir in the flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg, mixing just until combined. Do not over-mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup almost to the top. If desired, sprinkle about ½ teaspoon of coarse sugar and additional chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
  • Bake the muffins for 20 – 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out clean.
  • Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum flavor and sweetness. You want them to look quite speckled and brown! Mash them in a bowl with a fork, or place them in a large Ziploc bag and squeeze them with your hands until they're perfectly mashed.
  • Use either canola oil or vegetable oil. You want a neutral oil that will not flavor the muffins, so don't use olive oil. Feel free to substitute with melted unsalted butter if you prefer.
  • Sift the flour to avoid any big clumps in your batter.
  • Be careful not to over-mix the batter. You want it to come together so that everything is combined, but then stop stirring! Mixing too much will result in dry, dense muffins.
  • Any variety of chocolate chips will work. I used milk chocolate chips here, because that's what my boys prefer. Other good options include white chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped bittersweet chocolate, or mini chips.
