Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins (Bakery-Style!)

If you love soft, fluffy banana bread and melty chocolate chips, you’re going to adore these Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins.

I baked these in a jumbo bakery-style muffin pan, and they came out tall, golden, and full of sweet banana flavor — just like the ones from your favorite coffee shop.

They’re the kind of muffins that make your whole kitchen smell cozy and inviting. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon coffee break.

Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus a few extra for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line or grease a jumbo muffin pan (makes about 6 large muffins).
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
3. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
4. Stir in the baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. Add the flour and mix gently until just combined — don’t overmix!
6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each almost to the top for that bakery-style dome.
8. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
9. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean (a little melted chocolate is fine!).
10. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

• The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
• You can use mini chocolate chips for a more even chocolatey bite.
• Add chopped walnuts for extra texture and flavor.
• These freeze beautifully — just wrap individually and pop in the freezer for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.

Jennie’s Thoughts

There’s something so comforting about baking muffins on a slow morning. I love how the smell of banana and chocolate fills the house — it feels like a hug.

These are the kind of muffins I like to make when I’m craving something homemade but simple. They always turn out perfect, with those big bakery-style tops that look so pretty on the counter.

I like to enjoy one warm from the oven with a cup of coffee, and it honestly feels like a little moment of peace in my day.
