Ingredients

For the muffins:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 large ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1/3 cup butter or coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
  • Combine bananas, brown sugar, honey, egg, melted oil (or butter), milk and vanilla in a large bowl. Fold in the flour mixture and mix until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips until combined, then spoon into muffin liners, filling them to the top.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees and continue to bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Keep covered at room temperature for 3 to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Bananas should be very ripe with many brown spots.
  • You can use 1-to-1 gluten free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • You can use 1/4 cup granulated sugar instead of the honey.
  • You can use dairy free milk.
  • Use mini or regular chocolate chips.
  • You can omit the chocolate chips, if desired. 
  • Store in a container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze, if desired.
