Simple Ingredients
I love that the ingredients are for the most part, pantry staples. If you have some overripe bananas on hand, you could be eating muffins in no time! Chocolate chips, flour, baking soda, butter, egg, vanilla and sugar. So simple and so delicious.
A Sweet Little Note About Sugar
I made this batch of muffins with regular granulated sugar. In the past, I’ve also made them with Domino Golden Sugar and y’all, that is one scrumptious sugar.
Golden sugar tastes like a cross between granulated sugar and brown sugar. The subtle hint of molasses makes everything so incredibly delicious. As you can see here, granulated sugar works great, too!

Hi! I bought bananas today so they’re yellow but not overripe at all. Do you think it could still work? Perhaps if I up the granulated sugar maybe a couple TBS?
Hi, Hillary! If they’re somewhat ripe, they’ll still work well. I wouldn’t add extra sugar. As long as they mash well and measure to 3/4 cup once mashed, they’ll still taste great. I’m afraid adding more sugar will make them too sweet. Hope this helps! Enjoy!
These muffins were so good and so easy to make.
Instead of the chocolate chips, I added chopped pecans and a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Yum!
Hi Joyce! Yum, that sounds amazing! I’m going to have to try those mix-ins next time I bake them. I hope you’re enjoying! Thanks for sharing!
Super yummy
