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!

These turned out delicious and a fool proof recipe! I did half with just banana and mixed a bit of Peanut Butter powder and chocolate chips in the other half. Mine needed 14 minutes. Perfect and will make again for sure!
Hi, Candace! I am so glad to hear that you found them to be straightforward and delicious! They’re a favorite at our house, too. Thank you so much for sharing!
I was looking for a sweet treat to meal prep at the beginning of the week and these look perfect! I just have a few questions. Do you happen to have a nutrition breakdown, or at least just the calories? Also, I love that these can be frozen. How long do you think they would last in the fridge if wrapped similarly? Thanks!
Hi, Marge! Great question! Keeping them in the fridge typically buys you a few extra days. So maybe up to 5 or six, tops. They never last that long at our house, so this is just an educated guess! As for calories, I don’t provide nutritional information at this time. To find out, I would recommend plugging the ingredients you use into a free online recipe nutrition calculator like: https://whisk.com/recipe-nutrition-calculator/ Hope this helps. Enjoy! ❤️
My whole family loves these! Do you think this recipe could work as a loaf? If so, how long should I bake it for?
Hi, Jennifer! I haven’t tested the batter in loaf form, but I think it would bake up great. I would recommend using a 9×5-inch loaf pan and baking it at 350°F for about 60 minutes on the middle rack of your oven. I would rotate the loaf pan after 30 minutes and check every 10-15 minutes after that. If the top of the loaf starts to brown or crisp too much before the center is baked through, I would tent the loaf pan with foil and let it continue baking until a knife or cake testing stick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. I hope this helps and that is bakes up great as a loaf. Enjoy!
DELISH! I did add a 1/2 tsp of salt just because I know my own baking preference but they turned out perfect at the 12 minute mark, and it was exactly 24 mini muffins. Will absolutely make again!
Hi, Lindsay! I’m so happy to hear they turned out great! Thank you for sharing ❤️
