    • basic ingredients
    • no fancy equipment needed; mixed by hand
    • soft, fluffy and moist

    INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS

    Ingredient for recipe in small bowls on wooden board.
    • bananas - it's important to use ripened bananas for this recipe. Using bananas that haven't reached the stage where they have browned and softened will significantly change the flavour and sweetness. Medium-sized bananas is what I use.
    • cooking oil - use whatever vegetable oil that you have on hand
    • milk - I usually have 1% milk in the house and use it in all of my muffin recipes. You could substitute 2% or whole milk as well.
    • eggs - large eggs are used in this recipe

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Take eggs, butter and measured milk out of the refrigerator 30-60 minutes before baking. This will ensure soft, fluffy muffins

    In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and chocolate chips

    These muffins freeze well. Cool them completely, then wrap in foil or freezer-safe wrap or place in a zippered bag. Thaw for two hours at room temperature before eating.

    FAQ'S

    How can I make my muffins light and fluffy?

    All ingredients should be at room temperature. Take them out of the fridge a half hour to 1 hour before baking. Use the freshest ingredients and check expiration dates on baking powder.

    Do I have to use ripe banana for banana muffins and banana bread?

    Yes. The texture and sweetness of the recipe will change significantly. For best results, use banana that are streaked dark brown and soft to the touch. They should show no signs of mold or rotting!
