Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a small bowl, mash the bananas.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the mashed bananas and chocolate chips.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) to the batter. Serve warm with a pat of butter or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
