Whether you need a quick breakfast idea or a healthier snack, these banana chocolate chip muffins are perfect all the time! And they are super easy to make too.
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are a delightful way to start any morning. You really can't go wrong with this classic flavor combo.
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe
This Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe is light and moist. It's different from the batter I often use for my Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.
The muffins are cooked at a little higher temperature. Since they are smaller, they cook much quicker, so there is less chance of edges drying out. I also don't always have buttermilk on-hand.
A Moist Banana Muffin You'll Love
I think you can tell from the image above this is a moist muffin. My goal was a healthier muffin than a typical store-bought one.
Most of the ingredients I used happen to be organic, and I selected sucanat over typical cane sugar. Sucanat is a bit less processed and I prefer the flavor. You can use turbinado or standard cane sugar as well.
How many muffins does it make?
The recipe makes exactly six standard-sized Banana Chocolate Chip muffins (not those coffee shop monstrosities).
What is Sucanat?
Sucanat is organic, whole cane sugar. It's sugar in the purest, most organic form. People say it tastes even sweeter than conventional granulated sugar. If you are going to bake with it, use less of it than white sugar. Also try my Sucanat Almond Shortbread Cookies.
