I like this recipe because it’s incredibly easy and perfect when I want to bake with minimal effort.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• ripe bananas

• eggs

• chocolate chips

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a muffin tin with liners or lightly greasing it. I mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth.

I add the eggs to the mashed bananas and mix until fully combined. I gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed.

I divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and bake until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top. I let them cool slightly before removing them from the pan.

Servings and Timing

I usually get about 8 to 10 muffins from this recipe.
Prep time takes around 5 minutes, baking time is about 18 minutes, and the total time comes to roughly 23 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth. I like mixing in chopped nuts for added texture. When I want a slightly richer muffin, I use dark chocolate chips instead of regular ones.

Storage/Reheating

I store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When reheating, I warm them briefly so they stay soft and moist.

FAQs

Are these muffins sweet enough without added sugar?

I find they’re naturally sweet thanks to ripe bananas and chocolate chips.

Can I make these muffins gluten-free?

I like that they’re naturally gluten-free since there’s no flour involved.

Can I use frozen bananas?

I use frozen bananas as long as I thaw them completely and drain excess liquid.

Why are my muffins dense?

I notice they can be dense if the bananas aren’t fully ripe or if I overmix the batter.

Can I bake this batter as a loaf?

I can bake it as a small loaf, but I increase the baking time and check for doneness in the center.

Conclusion

I enjoy these 3-ingredient easy banana chocolate chip muffins because they’re simple, quick, and perfect for everyday baking. I love how such basic ingredients come together into a tasty, homemade treat I can make anytime.
