When it comes to baking, the proper mixing of dry ingredients is essential for achieving the best results. For our Choco-Banana Bliss Muffins, you'll be using all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. The importance of thoroughly combining these ingredients cannot be overstated. Clumping can lead to uneven rising and texture in your muffins. To avoid this, it’s advisable to sift the flour and combine it with the other dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Use a whisk to mix them together thoroughly. This process ensures that the leavening agents are evenly distributed, allowing for a uniform rise when baked.

Ingredients
  

1 cup ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium bananas), mashed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until well mixed.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Add Chocolate: Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using), reserving a small handful of chocolate chips for topping.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Enjoy these warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea!
