Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your muffin pan with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the overripe bananas and mash them into the creamed butter and sugar.
Add the eggs, milk and vanilla. Mix until combined (the wet batter will be very lumpy from butter and bananas).
Add baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and stir into the batter. Then add the first portion of divided flour amount (1 ¾ cups) and mix just until the flour is incorporated into the lumpy batter.
In a small Ziploc bag, combine the remaining flour portion (¼ cup) with the mini milk chocolate chips and shake until well coated. Add to the batter and fold in gently to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
Transfer batter to prepared muffin pan filling each paper liner about ⅔ full, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean from the center of muffins at the center of the pan.
Remove to a wire cooling rack and allow the chocolate chip banana muffins to cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes, before removing from the pan and transferring to the wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
When adding dry ingredients into your wet ingredient mixture, it is important to not over-mix! Stop mixing once the flour is just combined. If you over-mix, you can have chewy muffins.
To prevent any larger chunk ingredients that you want to add to your banana muffins (banana bread orbanana cake) from settling or sinking to the bottom, coat the desired ingredients in flour.
For an extra flavorful twist, add in a tablespoon or two of peanut butter!
If making mini muffins, adjust the baking time to 14-16 minutes.
