How to Store Muffins
- Room Temperature, store cooled fluffy banana chocolate chip muffins in a ziplock bag or an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days.
How to Freeze Muffins
- To freeze, cool muffins completely before wrapping and freezing. Wrap securely in freezer wrap, or place in freezer bags, getting out as much air as possible. Muffins can be stored frozen for up to 3 months.
- Muffins can be thawed completely at room temperature, or heat frozen muffins in the microwave by placing unwrapped muffin(s) on napkin, microwave-safe paper towel or plate. Microwave on HIGH about 20-30 seconds for each muffin.
Why Use Ripe Bananas for Muffins?
- Ripe bananas are softer and sweeter, so they're perfect for baking when you want delicious banana flavor. As they ripen, they turn starches into sugars, making them taste even better. That's why recipes call for ripe bananas.
Can I Substitute Frozen Bananas for Fresh?
- If you're using frozen bananas instead of fresh ones in your recipe, make sure you drain the water.
What's the Secret to Moist Muffins?
- Adding the right amount of melted butter in this recipe is key for making a moist muffin. This fat is what makes the muffin soft and delicious, so don't reduce the amount listed in the recipe. Plus, we're adding mashed bananas and egg!
Why Are My Banana Muffins Dry?
- Banana muffins can turn out dry if there's too much flour. Too much flour makes them dense and hard. To make sure your muffins don't turn out like this, make sure you use the right amount of flour - just enough to hold all the ingredients together.
- Also, don't overcook your muffins. If you do, they'll become tough and dry. Bake them just right — not too long and not too slow.
Does Baking Soda Make Muffins Fluffier?
- Muffins usually use baking soda or baking powder. These ingredients make the muffins fluffy and help them puff up when they bake. We're using baking soda in these, but if you wanted to use baking powder as a baking soda substitute, you can use triple the amount of baking powder instead.
How Can I Tell if My Muffins Are Done?
- Insert a wooden pick into the center of one of the center muffins. If the pick comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the muffins are done baking. Outer muffins might be ready before the center muffins.
Helpful Baking Tips for The Best Banana Muffins
- Preference not to use liners, because the muffins are so moist they tend to just stick and be messy, unless you lightly spray with them with non-stick cooking spray right before baking.
- These banana muffins are meant to be light, and airy. When you overmix the batter, it crushes the air bubbles and ruins the fluffy texture we're going for. The less mixing the lighter the muffins.
- Don't overfill the muffin tins. That way no mess in your oven or overflow.
- Don't underbake or overbake the muffins. Take the muffins out of the oven at the right time. If you take them out too soon, they may not be cooked in the middle and can be sticky. If you bake them for too long, they may become dry instead of moist and fluffy.
- Removing muffins from muffin pan. After removing the muffins from the oven, give them a couple minutes to cool off a little, and then remove them and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Cool muffins completely before wrapping and freezing.
Add-ins for Perfect Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
- We love adding chocolate chips to our banana muffins, but you could add some toffee, walnuts or pecans, or some dried cranberries or dried cherries for a flavorful twist!

Awesome! So happy to hear they worked out light and fluffy with your healthy modifications Tammy! Thank you so much for your feedback! Happy Baking!
Tammy Rissmiller says
These are the best muffins I think I have made they did come out light and fluffy and moist. They’re darker than the ones on the picture because I used half wheat flour and half white flour and I also used Monk fruit instead of sugar I put about 2/3 of a 2/3 measuring cup in of Monk fruit and it was sweet enough also put in chocolate chips half dark chocolate chips.
Kim Lange says
Ty!!! I thank you so much for your review and 5 star rating! So nice to hear!

Kim Lange says
Thank you so much Sienna! I'm so happy the recipe worked out for you with less chocolate chips!
Sienna says
Great recipe, will use again. I only used 1/4 cup chocolate chips, that's lots for us. 15 min to bake in mini muffin tin and 20 in regular sized ones. Used parchment paper muffin liners in the regular sized pan, no issue with sticking. Thanks for the recipe.
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much for trying it Nadia! so happy to hear you all loved it! xo

Truly amazing - kids want this all the time and so do I. Lol.
Thank you.

Joanna Friederich says
These came out perfectly! Added this recipe to my favorite muffins list on my iPhones “bookmark” section. I doubled the recipe (8 bananas) and it was perfect! Gave me 30 regular muffins. I tried without liners and with liners. I preferred the unlined ones as she recommended since they are so mouse they came right out! I took a knife around the edges that seemed stuck and popped them right on out onto cooling racks! My toddlers love these! Hubby and I too.
Momof2girls says
Absolutely amazing! We live in highlands ranch colorado. The muffins turned out perfect! Made 24 mini muffins and 5 big muffins. Best tasting homemade muffins we’ve made! Popped out of our silicone mini muffin Pan easily (first recipe to not stick in them). Thank you so much for this recipe! I could praise this recipe forever! Can’t wait to share it with friends and family!

Hi there,
Normally I do not like banana muffins or loaf but I had 2 banana sitting so I tried it, baking with my toddler and 2 other toddlers in my home childcare. And I will tell you this honestly, THE BEST BANANA MUFFINS! My husband liked them and so did the children and so did I! So thank you very much, will definitely bake these again!
Hannah says
Tried this recipe for the first time today and they turned out amazing, this recipe is a keeper! Moist and delicious! However, I used milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet, just a personal preference!
Kim Lange says
Thank you!
xeauregard says

Kim Lange says
That sounds amazing, I love your modifications! These muffins are so adaptable as you can tell! Thank you so much Whitney for your kind comment! xo
Whitney says
My family and I love these muffins. I make a double batch and I use ghee, dairy free chocolate chips, coconut sugar and soy free eggs. I place them in big 6 muffin pan... I cook them for about 50 minutes. Talk about perfection
Mary says
So easy to bake and so yummy! My only recommendation is to bake it for 23-25 minutes to give them that golden brown edge. Or maybe it's because my bananas added a bit more moisture than expected! Will definitely bake again.
Lindsay says
These are my all time favourite banana muffins! I’m a terrible baker but always love to try muffins ,because yum chocolate chip banana is perfection. These are perfect for a non baker like me. I have a stoneware muffin pan so my cook time is a touch longer. Thanks for this simple delicious recipe!

Kim Lange says
Love all of your substitutions and additions Kaytelyn! I'm so happy to hear you've added these to your go-to muffin list! Whoooohoo! Thank you so much!!
Kim Lange says
You use hard butter and then melt it Chelsey. 🙂
Danni says
These are amazing! Only minor change I made is I used sugar free chocolate chips instead of regular ones. They were so good they didn’t even last a day in my house before they were gone. This recipe is saved for my go too with banana muffins.
KaTelyn says
This recipe made the most delicious & moist muffins! I substituted 1/2 called for amount of chocolate chips for butterscotch chips, 1/2 called for amount of sugar with light brown sugar, and added about 2 TBSP of ground flax seeds for a little pop of nutrition. They turned out fabulous and will be my new go-to muffin recipe. Thank you!
chelsey says
Hello. just wondering if you use 1/3 cup of hard butter then melt it. or do you fill up a third cup of melted butter?
Kim Lange says
Sounds like something wrong with your measurements. Hopefully you try them again. 🙂
Anonymous says
This could have been 100% user error but I either filled the cups too much or messed up a measurement. The batter was runnier and did not set.
Kim Lange says
So happy you are on board with these muffins Amy and your grandson too! Thank you so much!! That is awesome to hear!
Amy says
I made these for the first time a couple of months ago, and I've made them about five times since then! My grandson LOVES them. I stretch the batter to fill 18 muffin cups so they don't disappear so quickly. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
Kim Lange says
That is great to hear Tara! Woohoo! Thank you so much!

These were really good! I had to bake mine for 30 minutes as they were raw at 20
Kim Lange says
Awesome! Did you use a muffin pan? Interesting Darci!!
Darci says
Delicious! My oven isn't working well so I actually made mine in an air fryer at 300* for about 10 minutes. Came out perfect!
Kim Lange says
We live in Indiana, and we got a ton of snow as well. I'm so happy to hear your muffins were so yummy and sounds perfect with hot chocolate! YUM!! Thank you so much for trying it Tamara!!
Tamara says
I made these during our snow storm here inMichigan. The oven kept the house warm! These muffins turned out wonderfully yummy! Thanks for the great recipe! I love them! Went perfect warmed with a cup of hot chocolate this morning
Kim Lange says
I'm so ecstatic that you and your son found them delicious! Thank you so much Teresa for your input! Woohoo!
Teresa Valdez says
Made these as recipe called out except I used milk chocolate chips ( that’s all I had) and I added a cup of chopped walnuts. My son that doesn’t like banana bread nor nuts in food took a bite out of my muffin and proclaimed that it was absolutely delicious.. I think so too.
Kim Lange says
Yes it is. Sounds like you needed to bake them more. Everyone's oven temps are different.
G says
My muffins didn’t bake through and sink .Are you sure the temperature is correct??
Michelle says
I make banana chocolate chip muffins regular ly. These are by far our favorite recipe, very moist and chocolaty,!

This recipe was easy and delicious! Will definitely make these again!
Sadia says
I have to say I’m so glad I skipped making a bread with my ripe bananas and opted for this. So delicious and really moist. I ended baking for about 25 minutes and got the right texture! This recipe is a keeper.
Ashley says
Absolutely love these! Make them all the time and my kids and daycare kids love them! Have you ever made banana bread with this instead of muffins? If so would you adjust anything? Baking time? Thanks so much!
IRina says
Very delish and loaded with banana flavor, I’d give this 8/10!! Best part fast and easy recipe!
Kim Lange says
I haven't tried it, but I presume the texture will not be as light and fluffy as if made fresh, but you could prep these muffins ahead of time in another way. Simply mix up the wet and dry ingredients in their separate bowls the night before. Refrigerate the wet ingredients, because they're perishable. They bake as directed in recipe instructions. If you try it overnight, let us know. Hope this helps some Misty. Happy New Year!
Misty Newell says
Can I make the muffin batter the night before and then divide into the muffin tins and bake in the morning?
Kim Lange says
Sounds yummy to me too! So glad you made them and modified them to your liking with dark chocolate! YUM! Happy Holidays Lindsey! xo
Lindsey says
Yum! Made these last night. I had 4 large/extra large bananas so added a little extra flour for the difference in bananas. I also added 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips in addition to the 1 cup of semisweet chips the recipe calls for. The extra bit of dark chocolate was delicious!
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much!
AS says
Amazing! Especially with Bob’s Redmill GF
Dustin says
OMG! How delicious this looks. I am going to make this for my family at Christmas. It will truly make them amazing.
Steven P Williams says
Use a bit of oatmeal and chopped pistachios!
Double dee list!
Kim Lange says
Aww...so happy to hear Jess! That really makes my day to hear you have found this recipe and your boys love it! It's such a versatile recipe to change up, so it's awesome you are taking advantage of those options! I love the idea of the bran! YUM! Thank you for your kind comments and wishing you and your family Happy Holidays! xo
Jess says
I've used this recipe dozens of times. I love it. So much chocolate! I always double it because I have four boys, sometimes I sub in 1 cup of bran for a cup of flour in the double recipe because I have 4 boys. It makes a bit less(about 24), but they are so delicious and moist. I buy a ton of bananas, so that I always have at least 6 leftover after a couples a weeks. Then its time to make the muffins. They disappear so fast. Anyway I really appreciate it because I've searched so long for a good recipe. I've made so many dry tasteless muffins for my poor kids until I found this recipe. My then 4yr old said to me, "These muffins make me sad because they remind me of cupcakes but they're not." Well luckily for him this recipe makes him perfectly happy.
Kim Lange says
Yes that would be fine to just use 3. It will just be lighter on banana flavor but still super yummy! 🙂 Enjoy!
Annalise Greenlee says
Is it okay if I only have 3 bananas? is there anything I should or can use to substitute for the fourth banana?
Crystal says
Followed the recipe to a T ( I used 1/3 c each of white sugar and brown sugar) baked for 20 mins and they are perfection!!!! Such a beautiful blend of flavor! Thank you for sharing ❤️

Yes you can use walnuts for sure. You might add a little less chocolate chips, but yea banana nut muffins! YUM!
Claire says
Can you use nuts in this recipe? I don't want to mess it up if I use 1/2-3/4 cup of chopped walnuts!
D. says
I just got a new stand mixer and wanted to try something new.
The muffins that I made are twice the height of the ones that are pictured and could have easily made 24 of the ones pictured.
They look and smell delicious! Very glad I started with these!

I made it last night. Used less sugar since the bananas were very ripe and I added mini semi sweet chocolate chips to give me the flexibility of how sweet I wanted it to be. Baking time was about 14 mins because I used fluted cupcake pan. I would definitely make this over and over.

I think you could switch out the whole wheat flour, will change texture some. I don't know about the maple syrup though. Maybe you could make a small batch and give it a test Autumn. If you try it, let us know?
Autumn says
Can you sub out for whole wheat flour and use maypole syrup as a sugar substitute?
Kim Lange says
Yes, definitely bake longer at same temperature. Maybe 10 minutes more? Hope you enjoy!
Hannah Tilton says
What tips would you give if we used a jumbo muffin tin instead? Bake little longer at same temp?

I would leave the recipe as is and add in 1 cup of zucchini and see how it turns out. Maybe make a half batch and see how they turn out and modify? If you try it, please report back to us! 🙂 Thank you so much for trying them Courtney, I'm so happy you found them so delicious!
Courtney says
I just made these and they are SO delicious!! Would they work with zucchini instead of bananas? Or half and half? Thanks!
Kim Lange says
Yes I would think you could. Let us know if you do! 🙂
AE says
i cant express how in love i am with this lol. my bf ate 4 muffins and said these are the best ever!!! i do have a question can in substitute banana with pumpkin puree?
Doreen says
My family absolutely loved these muffins!! So quick and easy!!! I have to go out and buy more bananas to let ripen!!! Thank you so much!!
Kim Lange says
I'm so happy you approve! Thank you so much!
keayra says
Such a delicious recipe! I added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the recipe for something extra, and turned out well!
yas says
yum yum yum
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much Emily! I'm so glad you enjoyed them!
Emily says
Good muffins, the batch actually made 15 for me. Suggestion only put 3/4 of a cup chocolate chips instead of 1 cup
Kim Lange says
Yes you could! Hope you enjoy!
Allyson Reeves says
Can you used black frozen bananas?
Kim Lange says
You are very welcome Abigail! I hope you love them as much as we do!!
Abigail Wenderson says
Awesome, Chocolate and banana are my favorites, thanks for sharing this recipe, can't wait to make these muffins.
Kim Lange says
Great to hear Lori Jean! Thank you so much for trying them. One of the best things about these muffins is that they are very adaptable to substituting ingredients to make them fit your lifestyle. xo
Lori Jean Finnila says
These were delicious and sweet enough for me where I'm slowly moving back into natural sugar. I only had a bit of cacao chips and it did the trick. Even with a flaxseed egg it worked well. Thank you so much!
Kim Lange says
You are very welcome Nakita! I'm so happy to hear this because even though baking can be a little frustrating, but you hung in there and found a tried and true recipe that is easy that you can can make over and over! That is my goal to help you along the way, so thank you so much for your kind comment. That means so much to me! xo
Nakita says
I am the worst baker. Legitimately the worst. I love cooking because I can improvise but with baking it is not so easy! I liked this recipe because there weren’t outrageous amounts of anything, it was plain pantry items, and were quick. These are now the only banana muffins I make - I’ve made them about 10 times and haven’t screwed them up yet!
I Substitute bobs red mill gluten free baking flour 1:1 and they are still absolutely amazing. Thanks for this recipe!!
Kim Lange says
Sounds so delish with the ground flax seeds to get more of the good stuff. I love that! Thank you so much for adding this recipe to make again! That makes my day! xo
AMY says
Super easy and fun to make, and super delish! My little one really enjoyed making these. I yielded ~30 mini muffins. I also added 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds for an extra boost of fiber and omega. Thank you so much for the recipe, we can't wait to make this again!
Chloe says
Beautiful! But the taste is very blah...
Kim Lange says
You are very welcome! Thank you for trying them Amy!
Amy says
Thank you for sharing! So delicious and so easy to make. I yielded 33 mini muffins.
Kim Lange says
No there isn't baking powder. It sounds like either you had too many bananas, overmixing the muffins or the oven wasn't hot enough if I had to guess. Check the expiration on your baking soda as well. I hope one of these nailed it?
Michelle says
Is there no baking powder in this recipe? I made these and they were dense and never rose.
Kim Lange says
You are so sweet to say that Char! Thank you so much! That makes me so happy the kiddos love them!
Char says
My kids favourite after school snack! Best recipe on the internet. Thanks!
Kim Lange says
When you say you changed for 18 muffins did you change the servings for measurements or use the batter for 12 muffins? Sorry, just trying to clarify...If you are making the recipe for 12 muffins, you might be over-mixing, you don't need to... or adding in too much banana, which will make them denser. Hopefully that helps. (If you are trying to make 12 muffins and stretching it to 18 muffins, they will be more like bread because they are thinner and probably baking too long.)
Kim Lange says
Great to hear Megan! Thank you so much for letting me know! xo That's so awesome!
lyn says
Hello. I don't know why but mine keeps turning out to be like bread. I changed for 18 muffins and followed exactly. Help?
Megan says
This is my new go to banana chocolate chip muffin recipe. Thank you! They are incredible! We use silicone liners on a baking sheet to cook them. They need about 25 mins because the silicon but slip right out of the liner without the need for spray.
Mena says
I can’t believe how easy this recipe was and how yummy the muffins turned out!!! They were so moist and tasty!
Mariela says
I just made this recipe today and it tastes really good! My hubby loved it and he said it would be great with some vanilla ice cream! LOL I'll keep this recipe for sure!!! Thank u for sharing it!
maygoo says
I've made many banana breads, banana muffins, banana cookies in the past. I have to say...this recipe is probably sitting in my top 3! They are DELICIOUS!!! I am eating one as I'm typing - a day old - and the muffin is still moist, fragrant, and just the right amount of bounce. I mixed half of the sugar with brown sugar (but i do with most recipes that involve chocolate) and it turned out great.
Will definitely be making these again!
Kim Lange says
Absolutely! Hope you enjoy Evangeline! xo
Evangeline says
Hi, I i haven't tried these yet, but I added walnuts to the batter. Was that a good choice?
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much Bonnie for sharing! I'm happy to hear they worked out for you! xo
Bonnie says
These are so delicious,I made two dozen.
Kim Lange says
Yes try the monkfruit Grace! They will definitely be awesome and thank you so much for loving them. That means so much to me! xo
Grace says
Super delicious and moist! Made these for my 17mo and 5yo. They loved them! I even snuck one for myself, i made 12 muffins with this recipe and 1 muffin is worth 9 points of the blue Weight Watchers program. Because of that point count I almost didn’t eat it. But I did and it was so worth it!!! Next time I am going to use my sugar substitute (monkfruit sweetener) to lessen the points for me.
But this is definitely going to be a house classic!
Kim Lange says
Thanks Sal, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes the banana adds sugar, but you can reduce it as you did with less sugar and Lakanto rocks. I love that sugar! The recipe is correct and thank you for your input! xo
Sal says
Great recipe; the only issue I noted ways the batter was sickly sweet. Way too much for me . I'm wondering if there is a typo and it's 1/3 cup sugar not 2/3. The bananas have a lot of sugar to begin with. I used lakanto sweetner thank goodness with equals the sweetness of sugar without the glycemic index and calories.
Kim Lange says
Sounds delicious! Thank you so much for your ideas Cyndy! xo
Cyndy Reidy says
Have made them a few times. The second time, I made them with berries and bananas instead of chocolate. Very good!! Think I am going to try chocolate and berries with the bananas next time.
Kim Lange says
Happy Day! 🙂
Hailey says
That could be it, I'm not sure. What I am sure about is that these are the best muffins my family has ever had!
Kim Lange says
Maybe the oven was preheated enough? Not sure, but glad they worked out for you Hailey! Thank you for sharing! xo
Hailey says
For some reason, my muffins just didn't cook at all after 20 minutes, so I raised the temp to 375 and left it in there for 15 more minutes and it was just perfect.
Kim Lange says
Yes you can Susan, enjoy!
Susan says
Could you use semisweet chocolate chunks?
Kim Lange says
Christina, I hope you figured this out, but anywhere from 8-15 minutes.
Christina says
Making these now! But I’m using mini muffin tins. What time do you suggest I cook them for in mini muffin tins?
Kim Lange says
I'm happy to share! Thank you so much for trying it Donna! xo
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much! Great to hear! xo
Donna says
This is my very favorite banana muffin recipe of all time! I used espresso chips on one of the many batches I’ve made & they were perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe 🙂
salrdar says
my friend made these and i tried them yesterday and they were delicious!! not too sweet, not too much banaan, not too much of anything. very well balanced. very mosit but not like a messy cake. she added some pecans adn those were good. im making a batch rn !
Kim Lange says
Dana, I would bake it anywhere from 45 to 70 minutes. I haven't done it as a loaf, but usually when I do them in my oven, it's usually 50-60 minutes or more. I'm so happy to hear about the devouring experience of your friends. Thank you so much for sharing! Happy Baking! xo
Kim Lange says
Yay! Thank you so much Effie. I'm so happy to hear it's a favorite! xo
Dayna says
These are the best chocolate chip banana muffins!! Everytime I make them people DEVOUR them. So moist but hold their shape! Thank you for this wonderful recipe; it’s always my go-to 🙂 Also, just wondering, if you were to make this as a loaf instead, what should you do differently (temp/baking time)?
Effie says
A favorite at our house!!
Kim Lange says
Ours too! Thank you so much Katrina for sharing!
katRina says
My favorite chocolate chip banana muffins!
Jill says
Made these today. So moist and delicious.
Kim Lange says
I'm going to have to try that combo! Maybe we're gonna have to bake up a batch soon! Thank you so much Stacie! xo
Stacie Michelle says
Every time I make these, they turn out AMAZING!! Always perfect! Enjoyed by everyone in our family. My son sneaks them off the cooling rack haha!
**My husband and I like to add peanut butter chips to ours for a banana-milk chocolate-peanut butter version. VERY tasty 😋
Kim Lange says
Me to Stacey! Everyone here loves them! Thank you so much!
Stacey says
This is my go to recipe when I have ripe bananas! Everyone loves them 🙂
Kim Lange says
Thank you Charlene! Glad you enjoyed!
Kim Lange says
So glad you enjoyed! Thank you Charlene!!
Charlene says
Delicious. So moist and easy.
Kim Lange says
I love the idea of mixing the chips up! Especially with peanut butter 🙂 Thank you so much Cheyenne!
Kim Lange says
I'm so excited you love the way they taste Kristin! Thank you so much Kristen for your experience! xo
Michelle says
Just made these they smell divine will try them soon but I’m sure they’re delicious
Kristin says
These muffins are absolutely incredible. Super moist and flavorful. I’ll use fewer chips next time to highlight the banana flavor.
Cheyenne Ensor says
Delicious! Instead of 1 cup of chocolate chips I used 1/2 cup chocolate chips & 1/2 cup peanut butter chips.. Kid approved!
Chelle says
My family loves these.
I use really really ripe bananas. It's the only way.
Have you tried freezing the muffins yet?
Kim Lange says
Awesome! So happy it worked out for you!! xo Thank you!
Kim Lange says
Anywhere from 10-15 minutes I'm guessing. Enjoy!
Kim Lange says
Sorry...the recipe calculator does the calculation. I don't know why it calculated it that way.
Anonymous says
I’m confused on your macros. How is there 1 gram of fat but asks for 1/3 cup of butter... which has 64g of fat. That would mean 5gs per muffin.
V says
They are delish! I modified and used 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 chocolate chips (semi sweet). Trying to manage my intake of sugar.
It made 10 cupcakes (prob because of the lack of ingredients) and I used liners.
Lynzi says
Do you know how long I should make if using mini muffin tins?
Kim Lange says
They should be fine with brown sugar. Enjoy!
Rebecca Rosenbaum says
Hi! It does say any sugar, just wondering how they'd turn out if I only use brown sugar. Thank you!
Kim Lange says
Awesome to hear! ! Thank you so much! xo
Shelley says
Just made these for my family and heard lots of thank you's! They turned out great!!!
Kim Lange says
That sounds amazing Ann! I'm so happy that you found a way to make the recipe work for you with your substitutions. This recipe is very versatile which allows for that. Great idea loading them in the basket, because yes you probably would have ate them all! I'm guilty of that myself. Thank you for your feedback! xo
Ann says
Very moist and yummy, chose this recipe because it used more ripe bananas and I had several. Based on the comments that the muffins were small, I used 2 c of flour, 2 eggs and added 1/4 c of sour cream because it needed to be used too and a healthy dose of cinnamon. omitted nuts due to allergies
Mixed brown and white sugar and also mixed dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips because I didn’t have semi sweet. With the added ingredients my batter came just up to the rim of a standard 2 inch muffin pan.
I’ve made many muffins and these were so good, I placed some in a basket and took them to the in-laws before I ate them all!
Kim Lange says
Yay I'm so happy to hear we have something for everyone here! Yay! Thank you so much Tamara for letting me know! Happy Baking! xo
Tamara G says
These are so good! I have a good chocolate chip banana bread recipe that was always my go to. My husband says he likes these better! Excellent Kim! Oh and the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies are to die for! My whole family loves them. Absolutely perfect!!
Kim Lange says
On the servings portion in the recipe where it says SERVINGS it says 12. Change it to 6 Servings and go from there. Enjoy Julie!
Julie says
Hi how would I cut this recipe in half as I only do have 2 bananas ?
Kim Lange says
That's amazing to hear! Thank you so much for letting me know Julie! xo
Julie says
My new favorite muffin recipe! I have made them twice this week!
Kim Lange says
Hi Casey, you can get by with it, you could add in a little applesauce or yogurt if you want (1/4 cup) or just take a couple tablespoons of flour out of the flour measurement as well. Hope you enjoy! They are very versatile and yummy!
Casey says
I only have 3 bananas! Will it still work or would I have to change the whole recipe?
Kim Lange says
Hi Alexis, this recipe uses baking soda. But if you don't have it, I'd just leave it out for this time.
Alexis says
If I don't have baking powder what could I use instead? I went to the store and they were all out😫
Kim Lange says
Great!! I'm so happy to hear that Lisa! Great way to use those bananas up!! Thank you!! xo
Lisa says
My girls make pact not to eat the last 4 bananas just so I will make these-awesome! I used Ghirardeli dark choc chips (60%) Because that was what I had,
and the dark choc and banana is awesome! Thank you!
Kim Lange says
Yes you could, but you might want to decrease the flour a little if you do, depending how much you add in, but I would not go overboard. You could also grind the oats and use that as oat flour with the flour like 1/2 & 1/2. Hope that helps!
Miranda says
I have a friend who suggested this recipe and said they were amazing! Do you think I could add old fashioned oats to this recipe? I don't obviously bake muffins very often!
Kim Lange says
I know what you mean! So easy and yummy! Tell your hubby he has good taste! 🙂 Thank you so much Marianne! xo
Kim Lange says
I'm flattered you left a review! Thank you for sharing the recipe and your feedback! xo
Marianne says
My husband loves my banana bread BUT after I made these he no longer prefers the bread and only wants me to make these muffins!
Anonymous says
This is the BEST recipe and SO simple too! My older mother, who has been baking her entire life, said that these are the best banana muffins she has ever had and made me bake some for all of her friends and they all loved them and asked for the recipe! I used a mixer instead of doing it by hand and it worked just as well! I never leave reviews but these are such a hit I had to!
KATie says
I made these a year ago for a staff meeting at school. They were a huge hit! Finally had some downtime from virtual teaching and decided to make them again. So excited that I won't have to share them this time! Just pulled them out of the oven and it smells AMAZING in my kitchen!
Kim Lange says
I'm so happy you tried them Kate! And you can never go wrong with more chocolate chips! 🙂 Thank you so much!
Kate says
I had a bunch of bananas about to go bad so I searched for a banana chocolate chip muffin recipe. Yours sounded good, so I gave them a shot tonight. They were delicious! My family loved them and I will definitely be making them again. I was craving chocolate so I added more chips- yummmm.
Kim Lange says
Hi Beth! Thank you so much. To freeze, wrap securely in foil or freezer wrap, or place in freezer bags. Muffins can be stored frozen for up to 3 months. Muffins can be thawed completely at room temperature, or heat frozen muffins in the microwave by placing unwrapped muffin(s) on napkin, microwave-safe paper towel or plate. Microwave on HIGH about 30 seconds for each muffin.
Kim Lange says
You are very welcome! So happy to hear! Thank you so much Meredith!
xo
Meredith says
Thank you so much for this recipe! I made these muffins for the second time today. They are the best chocolate chip banana muffins I’ve ever had! So yummy.
Beth says
This is the absolute best recipe - the only banana muffins my kiddos will eat! Thank you so much! Also what is the best way to freeze some (I made lots haha)?
Kim Lange says
One of my favorite recipes too! That is a perfect way for her to help out, how cute!!! Baking together is the best and eating it together is even better! Thank you for making my day!!
Anonymous says
Made these with my 2 1/2 year old daughter. She loved smashing the bananas. We both loved the results. Thank you for sharing such an easy and delicious recipe.
Kim Lange says
I haven't made mini muffins, but yes you could easily. Just reduce oven time anywhere from 8-12 minutes or more if needed. 🙂 Thank you so much Rachel for loving these muffins! xo
Rachel says
I love these muffins! Have you ever made mini muffins? How would you suggest adjusting the time in the oven?
Kim Lange says
I'm so excited you can't wait to have them for breakfast! Thank you so much Amanda, so sweet!! xo
Amanda says
These are incredible! I’m doing a lot of baking since we’re all staying at home lately. I ended up putting the recipe into MyFitnessPal and it wound up being approx 350cal per serving instead of the anticipated 100 😳 (I used regular flour so maybe that was part of the calculation) But they’re delicious and I can’t wait to have one for breakfast. Thanks!
Kim Lange says
No, but others have with success. Just bake as you would banana bread, 50-60 minutes most likely. Samantha, Enjoy! xo
Samantha says
Have you used this batter to make banana bread instead of muffins?
Kim Lange says
Yes double it! Can always freeze for later! Thank you so much Tina!! xo
Kim Lange says
I'm so happy to hear that it worked out for you Lisa! Thanks for your comment and feedback! xo
Tina says
I just made the muffins as I always have over ripe bananas left.
I decided to try this recipe and it's great!
Moist and delicious. Perfect and easy recipe.
I am going to double it next time!
You cannot go wrong!!!
So good!!!!
Lisa says
Amazing-used dark choc chips, but recipe is awesome and easy! Thank you!
Kim Lange says
No, I would not use the same. I would probably use 1/2 cup coconut flour with this recipe.
Evelyn says
We only have coconut flour on hand. Should we used the same ratio for flour?
Kim Lange says
Hi Cassie, I use an ice cream scoop, so 1/4 cup or 2/3- 3/4 full in the muffin tin is good. Enjoy!
Kim Lange says
Yes, that is what I normally use because we always have it on hand. Enjoy Lynn! xo
Cassie says
How much do you fill the pan? For example, should I only fill the cups halfway? 3/4? Thanks! Can't wait to try.
Lynn says
Can you make these with regular app purpose flour?
Kim Lange says
That is so cool! I'm so happy to hear it and that you're making them a tradition! xo
SanDi says
My family loves these! We now make a double batch once a week. A new tradition!
Kim Lange says
That's so awesome Margret! Thank you so much for the very cool rating and commenting! xo
MaGgie says
I cannot even tell you how many times I’ve made these muffins. It is the most perfect recipe, ever. My family loves them! ❤️
Kim Lange says
Either, but I prefer parchment paper. Most loaves take anywhere from 50-60 minutes. Enjoy!
Vee says
Hi! I’m wondering how long it would take to bake a loaf using your recipe? Should I use parchment paper then or still just grease? Thanks so much!
Kim Lange says
Yay! So happy to hear Makenna! Thank you so much for trying them and commenting! xo
Makenna says
These came out great! So moist. I made half with blueberries and half with chocolate chips. I did mini muffins and they were done in about 9-12 min.
Kim Lange says
They most likely will brown more, so just reduce the time a couple of minutes and yes you could change the sugar.
Brianna Bloom says
Also- may i 1/3 half white & 1/3 brown sugar?
Brianna Bloom says
Will they overcook on the edges in a dark non stick muffin pan if i dont use liners?
Kim Lange says
I would say 7-9 minutes. Enjoy Curtsy!
Curtsy says
How long would you bake them if you wanted to bake them in a mini muffin tin?
Anna says
I just made these muffins, used regular flour cuz that’s all I had, and omg, they are to die for. Will definitely
Be making again, and so easy and fast to make. Thank you for this recipe

Gillechatton says
Googled this during the pandemic when I didn't want to waste our bananas and wanted to keep the kids busy. We used whole wheat flour and they still turned out fantastic. Thanks so much for this!
Kim Lange says
Yes of course. Enjoy!
Rania says
Hello, these do sound delicious, can I use all purpose flour instead of gluten free??
Kim Lange says
Alison, I'm sorry, I've never tried it with almond flour, but I did try it with some coconut flour with success, so you could try it and see? I guess I'll have to give it a try and see at some point though!
Alison says
Can I just almond flour?
Kim Lange says
So great to hear Christina! That's what I love about this recipe, how versatile it is to make it a little healthier or not. 🙂 Thank you so much for you feedback and awesome review! xo
Christina says
These are my kids #1 favourite treat. I tried several other recipes but this one beats them all. The only thing I change is I use 1/2 agave and 1/2 Kane sugar instead of white processed sugar to make it a bit healthier. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!
Amber says
I've made these about 10 times now. My favourite recipe for sure!!! I just add a little cinnamon. Perfection!!! Thank you.
Ellie says
Delicious! I was feeling adventurous so added about 1/4 cup of sour cream, cinnamon and walnuts to the batter. I also cooked them in jumbo muffin tins so they needed to cook longer. Thank you for this wonderful and easy recipe 🙂
Gail says
Just took my first bite of this delicious muffin. I only use Ghirardelli chocolate chips as well. This will be my go to recipe from now on.
Angela Williams says
Wow I googled this recipe and baked them for the first time tonight...followed it except used milk chocolate chips instead of the semi-sweet and they were so good. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed them...so good!! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Kim Lange says
I love hearing this Tara and so grateful you deemed it as the family's favorite muffin! That is the best! Thank you so much. xo
Tara says
This is my family’s favourite muffin recipe. So moist and delicious. I have 3 children that aren’t easy to please in the kitchen; but this is a crowd pleaser.

Our family favorite banana chocolate chip muffin recipe. I use a dark pan so I lower temp to 325’ and cook for 22 minutes and like to use dark chocolate chips!! Delicious..

Kim Lange says
Excellent advice & tips Alicia! Thank you so much for sharing. I know there a so many out there that will love this information. 🙂 Thanks for loving the recipe too!
Alicia says
I made these today, love that it’s a relatively short ingredient list. They taste wonderful, I subbed the sugar for 1/3 c of both coconut sugar and maple syrup, and used my own gluten free flour blend I grind myself. If anyone is striving for gluten free baking I highly recommend buying a grain mill (wonder milk is what I have) and grinding your own grains. It saves a lot of money if you buy bulk grains from azure standard and grind in batches, I follow Chef Brad’s advice and use any 3 or more GF grains and swap cup for cup in any regular flour baking (with the exception of yeast related baking). Fave blend is 1:1:1 of brown rice, sorghum grain and oat groats. The blend is so flavorful! Used it here and it was amazing!
Kim Lange says
Great to hear Suan! I'm so glad you made them and the family is loving them! Thank you so much for commenting and your kind review! xo
Suan says
I have made these at least 6 times now and oh boy are these delicious! My kids are always asking for these now! And such a simple recipe! They freeze really well too and thaw fast....just put a frozen one in their lunch box and ready to eat by snack time!
Anonymous says
I’ve made these several times and they are delish! I’ve added blueberries and walnuts or mini chocolate chips and walnuts. I substitute the flour for coconut flour instead as well and it’s yummy.

Thanks, so glad you approved Melissa! 🙂
Melissa says
Just made these. Super easy to throw together and taste great! Super moist and soft!
Ari says
Excellent!!
Kim Lange says
Pam, I have used Lakanto in a lot of desserts, and it always works out, so yes I do think it would work. It's a 1 for 1 replacement.
Pam says
Have you tried artificial sweetener with these? Wondering if Lankato’s Monkfruit sugar replacement would work in this recipe?
Kim Lange says
Yes you could for sure! Just decrease the baking time of course. xo
Laura Baré says
These muffins are sooooo delicious. Can I make mini muffins with mini chocolate chips for this recipe?
Kim Lange says
I'm so happy that it works for you! Thank you so much for your kind comment Sarah! Happy Holidays! xo
Sarah says
I CANNOT bake, but these always come out perfect..... I substitute ground flax seed for the 1/4 cup amazing flour and use stevia instead of the sugar.... my kids cannot tell the difference! Live these muffins! ❤️
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much for your kind comment Ariane! The main difference between muffins and quick bread is that muffins take significantly less time to cook. So if you are converting muffins to a loaf, lower your oven temperature 25 degrees. And you will want to increase the cooking time to at least 45 minutes, possibly longer. Hope that helps, even though I haven't tried this method myself with these muffins. Thanks again!
ariane says
I absolutely love these muffins!! They are a hit with the whole family.
I was wondering if the can be made into a bread pan? If so, would I need to change anything in the recipe and how much longer would you say it would have to bake?
Thank you!
Kim Lange says
I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe and it worked out for you! That's awesome! Thank you so much! xo
Erin says
I have been looking for an alternative to banana bread as I want something that will last longer. This recipe is wicked easy to follow and the final product was delicious! Few tricks that I used: lightly coated the chocolate chips with flour and gently folded them into the batter to ensure they did not sink to the bottom. I also used liners and did not have any problems with sticking.
Kim Lange says
Aww. so happy to hear you are loving these muffins Lisa!! Thank you so much for trying them and your very kind review! xo
Lisa says
I had 4 older bananas and your recipe came up in a search. This is the best banana chip muffin I’ve tried!!! It was easy and delicious. Thanks for sharing.

These are my new favourite muffins. They really are the perfect balance of banana and chocolate. I used bobs red mill egg replacer and gluten free flour the texture was perfect.

I'm so thrilled you find this one a keeper! Thank you so much Mary! xo

These were delicious! I used brown sugar, threw in a little more than a C of chocolate chips, only used 3 ripe bananas and baked them in the muffin pan with 6 big muffins instead of 12. Baked them 30 minutes. Soooo good. Just printed the recipe. Will make these again. Would be good with some walnuts thrown in too.
Kim Lange says
10 - 15 minutes I would say. Enjoy Karla!

Karla says
Any thoughts on baking time if making mini muffins?
Kim Lange says
I'm so happy you enjoyed them Mik!! So excited you'll be trying them again! xo
Mik P says
Tried this recipe, and the muffins turned out great! This is the first batch of muffins I've left out, and they still stayed soft. I will definitely be using this recipe again!
Kim Lange says
Kelley, I'm so happy you all love them! My husband is like your your youngest with the microwave and getting the chocolate chips all melty and adding the coconut protein powder is genius! I have done them with coconut flour, but never thought about the protein powder. Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it so much! xo
Kelley says
Ok, so I have made these at least two dozen times so I TOTALLY feel obligated to make a comment. They are perfect! I have to limit the goblins on how many they can eat a day. The youngest loves putting them in the microwave so the choc chips are melted. The only thing I do different is half the flour and add a coconut protein powder. It a small cheat but I have yet to feel guilty.
Kim Lange says
So happy to hear! Thank you so much for trying them! xo

So fluffly and delicious. Made them non dairy and gluten free using melted margarine that tastes like butter and spelt flour. They were a hit. Thanks
Kim Lange says
So good to hear Karen! Thank you so much for the high rating! xo
Karen says
I have made a lot of banana chocolate chip muffins over the years and I have to say these are the best I have ever made. They are very moist!
Kim Lange says
So happy to hear you'll be making them again Stephanie! Thank you so much for the awesome review! 😉
Stephanie says
Just made these and they are PERFECT. I used cake flour instead of all purpose. I left my bananas mashed a little more on the chunky side. Will definitely be making these a lot more!! Thank you!
Kim Lange says
I haven't tried it, but I think it would be better served as a cake than a bread in an 8x8 pan. It's not dense like a banana bread, but if you try it, let us know how it turns out Caterina!
Caterina says
Can you make this into a banana bread ?
Kim Lange says
I'm so glad you all enjoyed them Cat! Thank you so much for your kind comment and review! xo
Cat says
These turned out great! My husband and boys said they were the best muffins I’ve made!
Thank you for a great recipe!!
Kim Lange says
I'm working on getting the nutritional information, but someone earlier had posted 251 calories and 9.2 grams of fat. Stop back in a couple of days and it should be updated accordingly. Thanks!
Kelsey says
Do you have nutritional information per muffin please?
Summer Scott says
Have a batch in the over right now and they look and smell soooooi good! I found it made more than 12, about 15 but I’m so excited to try them!
Kim Lange says
So awesome to hear this Natasha! Thank you so much for the awesome rating!! xo
Natasha Ball says
Amazing! I followed the recipe and didn't use muffin liners. They browned perfectly. I did cut the sugar in half. And they were perfectly sweet enough. This will be my "go to" from now on.
Kim Lange says
Great to hear Angela! Thank you for trying it! xo
Angela says
Made these today and they are delicious! I used to use my mom's old Betty Crocker recipe but this one is. 1000 times better! I used my mini muffin pan and baked for 10 minutes. Thanks for sharing!
Kim Lange says
Anywhere from 10-13 minutes. Enjoy!!
Tanya says
What would be the heat & time for mini muffins?
Kim Lange says
I'm so glad you enjoyed them Kathy! Thank you!
Kathy says
These are super moist and delicious. We added 1/2 peanut chips and 1/2 chocolate chips and baked them into mini muffins, they turned out perfect! Definitely be making these again for the kiddos.
Kim Lange says
I'm so glad I could bring back some memories! Thank you Jackson!! xo
Jackson says
These remind me of my childhood. Of course I substituted 1 cup of chocolate chips for two cups of chocolate chips.
Kim Lange says
Awesome to hear Virginia! Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! xo
Virginia Mayen says
Great recipe. Easy and so tasty. My kids have made them three times already. Family fav for sure.
Mandy says
Hey!! These are just baking now and I'm so excited! They smell amazing.
Kim Lange says
I'm so happy you are sticking with this one. It's definitely a favorite around here! Thanks so much Kat!! 🙂
Kat says
I made these yesterday and they are so moist! I will never make a different recipe. They are perfect. I had two because they were so good.
Kim Lange says
I hope you enjoyed Cynthia! xo
Cynthia says
I have a batch in the oven now! Can't wait to try these!
Kim Lange says
I'm so happy to hear this Katie! Thank you so much for your kind review! xo
Katie says
I added mini semisweet chocolate chips on top of the batter one I had it in the pan and they cake out beautifully!!! This was certainly a good choice for the ripe bananas I had!!
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much Suzi! So glad you enjoyed them and thanks so much for the sweet review! xo
Suzi says
These are amazing!! So easy and moist. My only complaint is that mine browned much more than yours so they aren’t as pretty. I even took a batch out at 17 minutes and they are super dark but oh well. The flavor is awesome and I’ll make these again for sure!!
Kim Lange says
Great to hear Dina! Thank you so much!! 😉
Melania says
Turned out perfect! My family ate them all and said they were delicious before I could even eat one myself! guess I'll just have to make some more
Dina says
Made them today and all I got to say is amazing
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much for the great review! xo So glad you enjoyed them!

Just made these and they’re fiiiire!!!!! So delicious and perfect amount of each ingredient! If you like banana muffins and chocolate, you need to make these, like, yesterday!
Kim Lange says
That's so awesome Lisa! They are so addictive, I get why they don't last! hehe Thank you so much dear!! xo
Lisa says
Omg my husband and 20 month old son loved them! I don’t think they will even last a day on my house. Thank you!
Kim Lange says
I'm super happy you think so! Thank you so much Chantel! xo
Chantel says
Delicious and easy, thank you!!
Kim Lange says
Love it that you and your granddaughter had the pleasure of making these! Looking forward to when I can do the same with my granddaughters! You made them a little healthier and that's always a good thing in my book! Thanks so much for trying them and the awesome rating. xo
Jennifer Howe says
My six year old granddaughter and I just made these. The only change I made was to use white whole wheat flour and cook the muffins for 23 minutes. So delicious!
Kim Lange says
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed them. If they were a little denser, it may be because there was more banana used than required, but still makes good muffins. 🙂 Thanks so much!!
Laura says
Very good! I had to cook them for a lot longer and they were dense, not fluffy, but they still were amazing!
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much for pinning to make again Kelsey! I'm so happy they were a hit and the coconut sugar worked out for you. I love it that your daughter is into baking. She sounds like a natural already and she should be proud! I'm proud of her too! 🙂 Have a happy 4th!
Kelsey says
AMAZING! My daughter 9 made these all by herself. She’s so proud! Only substitute we made was we used coconut sugar instead of granulated white sugar! Saving this pin for sure!!!
Kim Lange says
I'm so happy you think they are amazing Jill! Thank you so much!
Jill says
Just whipped up a quick batch of these before bed so we have breakfast in the morning. From start to finish, including dishes, was 45 minutes! And they are AMAZING!
Kim Lange says
Hi Ana! I'm so happy you were pleased with them! Thank you so much for review! 🙂 xo
Ana says
Just took these out of the oven, and a minute later there’s one less. So good, I didn’t even let it cool! Really delicious!?
Kim Lange says
Hey Margaret! It needs to be cooled or room temperature at least. Hot or very warm melted butter can actually melt the sugar in muffins or even cook the eggs, which could drastically change the texture of the muffins. Hope that helps and hope you enjoy!! xo
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much Angi!! xo Less chocolate chips, I'm with ya!
Angi says
Fast, easy to make and yummy. I did cut back on the amount of chocolate chips (personal preference). Will sooo be making again!
MaRgaret says
What does cooling the butter do?
Kim Lange says
Hi Kim! Yes you could make them mini muffins. I would probably use mini chocolate chips, but temp the same and reduce to 10-13 minutes. Enjoy!!!
Kim says
Could you make these as mini muffins? Would I adjust cook temperature or just time?
Joy says
I just made these and they came out perfect!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Carla says
Love these as they are! So gooood! I wanted a healthier version for my son's lunch without losing the deliciousness of this recipe so I modified it every week getting a little healthier each time until we reached the point where it wasn't tooo healthy lol.
We like to use half the sugar, add frozen wild blueberries (they are tiny so doesn't add water content), and sub wheat bran and flax seed for half the flour...and used whole wheat flour instead. Super yummy! Also if the bananas are small I can get away with adding an extra.
Kim Lange says
Awesome! So glad to hear! Thank you so much for sharing your substitutions Nicola! 🙂
Nicola MacEwen says
These were DELISH! I didn't have enough GF flour so made some oat flour with my food processor and subbed maple syrup for sugar. YUM YUM YUM. I baked mini muffins for 15 mins and they were prefect.
Kim Lange says
So glad you found a substitution to work with it well and I love the addition of the nuts and seeds. Thanks so much for sharing Cindy! xo
Cindy says
Apr2019...typical of me to start a recipe without verifying I have all ingredients - especially when baking is a last minute decision. Found I didn’t have eggs, so added a couple heaping Tbsp of blueberry yogurt. Also, prefer nuts to chocolate in muffins, so added some sunflower and pumpkin seeds as well as chopped pecans. Very good and very moist muffins. Did not use muffin cups. Greased muffin pan with coconut oil. Muffins did not stick at all. Happy with this recipe...Thank you!
Cameron says
First time ever making muffins. Easy to follow and turned out delicious!
Britni Abel says
I made these muffins for my coworkers and they absolutely loved them! They were super moist, easy to make, and delicious! However, next time I make them I might use a little less chocolate chips in them..I followed the recipe but it seemed a little overpowered. My batch made 18!
Victoria says
I make these all the time for my two boys. Super easy and always delicious!
Mary says
Trying recipe now will tell ya what I think
MALANIMALANI. says
I love to make thies muffins and can I freee ze some of thies becaus these are too much for me.
Kim Lange says
Yes I don't see why you couldn't use those. 8 bananas. 🙂 Thanks for loving these muffins!! xo
Jacqueline says
I’ve always loved these muffins! Going to be making some today, but I was wondering, can I still use the muffin liners (mine are a parchment liners) and if I double the batch, does that mean 8 bananas or still 4? Thank you!!
Melissa Lawlor says
These are the best ever! Thank you so much.
Kim Lange says
Hi Sanvi! I don't know how they will turn out, but in a pinch, either use 1/3 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup yogurt or Greek yogurt, buttermilk or any kind of milk, even coconut or almond. There is also a method you can make it with flax seeds - 1 tablespoon flax seeds and 3 tablespoons water - but I've never tried it, but hear it's successful. Hope that helps and hope he enjoys! 🙂
Kim Lange says
I don't know Judy, because I have the same problem! 🙂 I'm so glad you love them! xo
Sanvi Kapoor says
Hii..planng to make muffins with my toddler..very excited?..what can i substitute egg with? No eggs at home..bd i promised him will make it today.
Judy says
Best ever muffins, so moist, this has become my favourite banana chocolate chip muffin. Only one problem, how do you stop at one lol
Victoria says
I’ve never been a huge fan of banana chocolate chip muffins, but I made these with some ripe bananas I didn’t want to throw out. And oh my goodness! You have changed the game in banana muffins. Amazing!!
Felicia Breckon says
The muffins were really good. I did them with my family and they were really easy to make. Thanks so much for the recipe. The muffins were amazing!
Kim Lange says
You are very welcome Holli! I'm so happy you loved them! 🙂
Kim Lange says
Awesome Nicole! I'm so glad you are going to make them again. 🙂 Thank you!
Holli says
These muffins were moist and delicious! I prefer these over a banana bread any day. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Nicole says
not paying attention, I bought the milk chocolate chips and they were huge so I put half a cup instead and were very chocolaty and good. but next time will buy semi sweet
Kim Lange says
So glad you enjoyed! 🙂
Maddy says
100% recommend! Did this receipe without chocolate chips and they were delicious as ever! Yum!
Kim Lange says
That's great to hear Julie! I'll add in in the recipe notes for those looking for a sugar substitute. Thanks for the info and so glad you enjoyed. xo
JuLie says
I just made these and substituted the refined sugar for baking Stevia. (Same amount as recipe). They turned out perfectly at exactly 18 minutes in my convection oven.
Kim Lange says
Great to hear Danielle! Sounds good with your additions for sure! 🙂
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much Aiesha! Allow muffins to cool down to room temperature, then freeze muffins for about an hour, until solid.
Transfer muffins into a freezer bag and keep in freezer up to two months. Mke sure to squeeze out any extra air first and double bag muffins. To heat, remove the frozen muffin (s) and warm up in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Aiesha says
The best banana chocolate chip muffins I've ever had! What's the best way to freeze them?
DAnielle says
Thank you for this recipe! I also added peanut butter chips (Reese’s) and a little bit of cinnamon. I used about 1/3 cup peanut butter chips and 2/3 cup chocolate chips. They are the best muffins I’ve ever had!
Kim Lange says
Yay! Awesome, so glad it worked for you! xo

Hey Kim, it's me again!!! Just coming back from making another batch of these delicious, heavenly morsels with my friend Cassie, and we just want to send our appreciation again for gracing us with this beautiful recipe. We would like to propose a modification to this it. This "new" recipe developed from a happy accident. We had just heated up the banana mixture, and when we were adding the chocolate chips, they melted!!!! The muffins turned brown, which threw us for a loop, but after tasting them, WOO-IEEEE!!!! What a treat!!!! Also, we deconstructed one and added strawberries and Nutella. PLEASE EVERYONE DO TRY THIS AT HOME!!!! You will not be disappointed. From your friends here at Wilfrid Laurier, we encourage you to embrace your own happy accidents, because you never know... You might surprise yourself:))))
Jamie says
My family and I LOVE these muffins and make them often. Wondering if you know the calorie count per muffin based on your recipe? Thank you!
Kim Lange says
I love the idea of using those cute mini loaf pans! I just ordered one of those pans and can't wait to try it. Thanks for commenting and finding me on Pinterest Sharlene!
Sharlene Mcbride says
Our favourite go to Banana Muffin Recipe! Glad I found this one a couple years ago on Pinterest. I don't modify the recipe at all its perfect! I use a Mini Loaf Pan and it makes 8 nice big mini loafs. Yummy! They turn out every time!
Sandra says

Kim Lange says
I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed them Corinne! The recipe is definitely worth making over and over! Thanks so much for visiting and hope you come back often. 🙂
Corinne says
Love these. Similar taste to traditional banana bread but lighter and fluffier. Taste was great and kids loved them. Will definitely being making these again!
DeLorus says
Made these this afternoon and they are absolutely delicious. I baked mine in reusable silicone baking cups (cupcake liners) that I sprayed with Baker's Joy. They baked up beautifully & slip right out of the silicone cups. Easy to make & they don't last very long! Thanks so much for such a great recipe!
Kim Lange says
I'm so happy to hear you've been making them! Thanks so much Debbie!! 🙂

I'm so happy to hear that and sounds like you have a sweet little helper! I think that's so awesome. I can't wait until I can bake with my granddaughter. She's too young, but soon! 🙂 Thank you and Happy New Year! xo
Amanda says
Thank you! These are my go to muffins. I make them every month or two & they freeze so well & they get pulled out when we have visitors (& I haven’t had a chance to cook) or if we decide to go on a spare of the moment day trip. They are amazing I can get 12 big & 24 little muffins out of the mixture some for the husband & some for the toddler (who loves to help make them. Thank you

Great recipe! It worked with egg substitute as well.

Your add-ins sound amazing Melissa! I wish I had some right now! Thanks dear!! xo

It was great! I tried it with some tweaks to custom for my family. I changed the vanilla for hazelnut syrup, mixes milk chocolate with the semisweet, and added toasted pecans. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
Kim Lange says
Awesome!! So happy you love it! Adding chocolate chips on top is always a plus! Love it!! Thanks Angela!!
Angela says
Delish every time. Make sure to add choc chips on top for looks and do not eve,I’d. I used good chocolate and four big bananas. Yum

These muffins were the best I ever made! So good. I had 5 bananas and used a little more flour plus milk and semi sweet chocolate chips. So so good.! New go to recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Michelle & josée says
I just made these with my 11 year old daughter and she had the idea to add blueberries and they taste great! She can not wait to bring them to school.

Kim Lange says
Should be fine Tara. 🙂 Hope you enjoy!
Tara says
Help! Can I just use 3 bananas or will they turn out too dry?
Trevor E says
Hi ChocolaTess!!! My friend and I made this recipe tonight, and WOOHOO, what a success :)) Not only were the muffins moist and fluffy, but it was an absolute hoot recreating this recipe. There was a slight inaccuracy with the prep time, however, the cooking time was SPOT ON!!! Not a second more, or a second less; 18:00 minutes on the dot!!! We loved them so much we made three batches:) They’ll be gone in no time. I would like to suggest a little modification to your recipe. After adding the butter to the bananas, try heating up the banana mixture afterwards. It becomes extra smooth, giving you a softer final texture. Again, absolutely delicious!!! Will make again in the near future:)) Happy baking everyone, and to all a good night:))
Kim Lange says
Thank you so much Ramona for your kind words! I don't see why you couldn't bake it as bread, just same temperature for 50-60 minutes I would suppose! 🙂 Enjoy and let us know how it turns out!
Ramona says
Kim, I made these muffins and my family absolutely loved them! Thank you definitely the best ones I have made. Now the question I have is I would love to make these as a bread for my daughter's bake sale fundraiser for tomorrow, but not sure if I would have to change anything to make it as a bread. Have you ever tried recipe as a bread instead of muffins? If so, same temperature for oven and for how long? Thanks again!
Lien says
Thank you for the recipe. It was so good. However, you would want to reduce the amount of sugar by a half (maybe all, I will try both later) because the bananas have a good amount of sugar already, besides it's all natural sugar. I used walnut instead of chocolate chips just because I didn't have any available. It was really good, the muffins were super fluffy and moist. Other than it being a bit too sweet for me, this recipe is perfect.
Kim Lange says
1 & 1/3 cups Joan! 🙂 Yes you are right!!
joan mcnary says
4 bananas is about how much in cups? Bananas can be very different sizes!
Lana says
Thank you! So easy and they truly are nice and moist....I struggle with this and end up with dry muffins normally! ?

12 Rachel! Hope you enjoy!
