Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing a Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe that was created by my husband's grandma. I saved the recipe from a blog post that his aunt and cousins wrote a long time ago but they have since deleted that blog. I asked permission to write this post and they told me yes, roughly a million years ago. I get asked for the recipe for these muffins every time I post them on social media so I figured I should write a blog post. Also, as for all recipe blog posts, I will take you on a journey of 900 words about that one time I visited a banana farm in Connecticut with my great aunt Patsy in her vintage Mustang... But wait... none of that is true or makes sense...
I will preface this recipe by saying that it is a plain and simple recipe and it's not particularly healthy. It has bananas so that's healthy, right? I find that a lot of older "grandma" type recipes tend to have few ingredients and fewer steps. If you are looking for gourmet or interesting muffins, these are not them. These are literally the basic muffins that your grandma used to make.
My daughter goes crazy for these muffins. I have so many pictures of her staring lovingly at these muffins... how come no one every stares at me like that? She is also a strange little girl that doesn't like chocolate chips so I just bake up some batter for her before adding the chocolate chips for plain banana muffins and they turn out great. She loves them. Is that enough rambling for the Google? The world may never know...
Grandma V's Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients:
1 stick of butter (I use salted)
1 cup of white sugar
1 tsp of vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups of flour (you can substitute half for wheat flour)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2-3 mashed RIPE bananas
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream soften butter and sugar. I use a stand mixer but you can use a handheld mixer or beat by hand. You can also use 1/2 cup of shortening instead of butter if you want to.
3. Add vanilla.
4. Add eggs one at a time until incorporated.
5. Mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Don't over mix muffin batter.
6. Mash your bananas and add to batter, mix.
7. Add in chocolate chips or nuts or toffee bits or whatever mix-ins you like. Or don't for plain muffins.
8. Scoop batter into lined muffin tins and bake for 20 mins. OR pour batter into a greased bread ban and bake for 1 hour for a loaf. You can check doneness by poking a muffin or the loaf with a toothpick and it should come out clean when it's done. Avoid poking a chocolate chip.
9. Cool and eat!
I hope you guys enjoy this recipe! Tag me on social media if you make them!
