# Ingredients:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 3 average-sized ripe bananas, squashed (roughly 1 1/4 cups)
02 - 5 tbsp melted unsalted butter, cooled slightly (70g)
03 - 1 big egg
04 - 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

07 - 1 tsp baking powder
08 - 1 tsp baking soda
09 - 1/4 tsp sea salt

→ Mix-Ins

10 - 3/4 cup chocolate chips (130g)

# Instructions:

01 - Heat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Put paper liners in a 12-cup muffin pan.
02 - Grab a big bowl and mix your flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until they're all combined.
03 - Take another bowl and mix your slightly cooled melted butter, squashed bananas, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
04 - Add wet stuff to dry stuff and stir gently until just combined. Then gently add the chocolate chips.
05 - Scoop batter into each liner, filling about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes. They're done when a toothpick comes out clean from the middle. Cool them on a wire rack.

# Notes:

01 - Keep these treats fresh by storing them on your counter in an airtight box for up to 3 days
02 - If making tiny muffins, only bake them for 10-15 minutes
03 - Want to save them longer? Freeze each muffin separately first, then put them in a bag for up to 3 months
04 - Darker, super ripe bananas will make your muffins taste way better
