Quick and Easy to Make Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chips
Any time I find myself with over-ripe bananas on my kitchen counter, I’ll make a quick batch of these ultra moist and delicious banana muffins. And if I’m not in the mood to bake, I’ll peel the ripe bananas and place them in an airtight freezer bag in the freezer for later use.
How Long to Bake Banana Muffins
With banana muffins (or banana bread for that matter), you want to avoid over-baking them in the oven to keep them moist and soft. The lonest I’ve ever baked my banana muffins inthe oven is 22 minutes at 360F but since everyone’s oven temperature varies, it may take some trial and error to determine the best time in your oven.
A good trick is to poke the center with a clean toothpick when you suspect they are close to ready. If the toothpick come sout clean, the muffins are ready.
Freezing Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Over the years it’s been my go-to recipe that I enjoy making and sharing with the family. The muffins also freeze very well so you can make them ahead of time and take them out of the freezer later. Be sure to cool them completely before transferring to an air-tight freezer bag or container to store in the freezer.
