TIPS FOR MAKING THE PERFECT BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

• Start by preheating your oven and line the muffin tin, so the muffin cups are ready when the batter is done.
• Use a fork to mash 3 overripe bananas.
• Thoroughly mix together the bananas, sugar, brown sugar, egg, butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
• Slowly sift together the flour baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix your muffin batter at this stage. Add in the chocolate chips, but keep a handful to the side.
• Scoop the batter into the paper-lined muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top. That way some of the chocolate chips will show at the top of each muffin, instead of just baking in.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes. To test if the muffins are done, put a toothpick in the center of one. If it comes out without any wet batter you can take the muffins from the oven.

VARIATIONS ON BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

• Flour: You can replace the all-purpose flour in this recipe with whole wheat flour for a slightly more healthy muffin recipe. If you want gluten-free muffins, use oat flour, almond flour, or coconut flour.
• Oil: You can replace the melted butter in this recipe with coconut oil or applesauce. Use the same measurements for coconut oil and applesauce as you would have for the butter in the recipe.
• Sweetener: If you want to change up the sweetener, try using maple syrup or coconut sugar in this recipe. If you need sugar-free banana muffins use splenda or another sugar-free substitute. You’ll also need to find sugar-free chocolate chips. 
• Chocolate Chips: Instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, you can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, or a mixture of a few.
• Add-ins: Muffins are always a great recipes to add different mix-ins to. Try mixing in some blueberries, or nuts to go with the banana instead of chocolate chips.
• Mini muffins: If you want to make mini muffins, just divide the batter into a muffin tin with mini muffin cups. Reduce the baking time for mini muffins.
