Servings 10
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 large ripe bananas about 1 1/2 cups
- ¾ cup of sugar
- 80 ml of melted butter 1/3 rd of a cup
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- ¼ cup milk at room temperature
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F). Arrange muffin cases in a muffin tray. Small size cups will yield 10 muffins and large size cups or cases will yield 6 muffins.
- Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl – plain flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas which should be around 1 and a half cups or slightly more. To this add melted butter and sugar. Mix for 2 minutes till all the sugar is dissolved.
- Then add rest of the ingredients – egg, milk, and vanilla essence and mix well.
- Now add the dry ingredients to the mashed bananas mixture and mix well.
- Finally, add chocolate chips which can be anywhere between 1/2 cup and 1 cup. (I have added 1/2 cup)
- Pour the batter evenly and fill almost 3/4 portion of the muffin cases. Sprinkle some more chocolate chips on top of the batter.
- Bake for 25 – 30 minutes. After 25 minutes, insert a clean knife in the center of a muffin which should come out clean. If not, bake for 5 – 7 minutes more.
- Once baked, cool completely before serving.

Notes
Note: Bananas have to be over ripe and soft. Firm bananas will not give the same effect. All ingredients should be at room temperature.
