These chocolate chip banana muffins are the perfect solution to ripe bananas. A moist, tender muffin filled with little bits of chocolate.  They make a perfect breakfast treat or after school snack.

Muffins are a perfect way to start the day and you can find all our favorite muffins recipes here.  Don’t miss my favorite muffin, orange creamsicle muffin!

Today’s muffin recipe is due to having two overly ripe bananas on my counter. I just wasn’t in the mood for banana bread, although I have an amazing banana bread recipe,  but a banana muffin sounded pretty good.

When my kids were at home I often made muffins on Monday mornings to start the week.  Muffins are easy to pull together, I usually had the ingredients and you can have a fresh, warm batch out of the oven in about 30 minutes. I also felt better about sending them off to school with a homemade muffin rather than a bowl of cold cereal!

How to Make Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

  • Add in some mini chocolate chips for a fun flavor.  If you don’t have mini chocolate chips, use regular size.
  • This recipe uses a combination of vegetable oil and sour cream for the liquid which creates an amazingly tender and moist muffin.
  • If you don’t have sour cream you can substitute plain Greek yogurt.

I only had 2 bananas but I think next time I might add in a third for a little more intense banana flavor but 2 worked just great.

I liked using mini chocolate chips rather than the full size one.  You get just a hint of chocolate that way in each bite.

How Long Do Muffins Last?

Not very long at our house but they can last for 2-3 days unrefrigerated and up to a week in the refrigerator.  Keep them in an airtight container.

 Can I Freeze Muffins?

Muffins freeze really well.

  • Let them cool completely.
  • Place them on a baking sheet or back in the muffin tin and flash freeze them for about an hour, or until they are solid.
  • Put individual muffins into a large freezer bag, as many as will fit.  Freezing them individually first will prevent them from sticking together in the freezer bag.
  • They will keep for up to two months in the freezer.
  • To thaw muffins just allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes or pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.overhead shot of chocolate chip banana muffins

    FYI… It was a cheesecake filling, not just flavored cream cheese.. I had one that was just plain cheese and didn’t like it at all..

    I made these using both the caramel chips and cinnamon chips in them, a cup of each that I shook in a bag with flour to keep them from settling.. They were great.. Your basic recipe is extremely moist!! If you could come up with a cheesecake type muffin, I would be a happy lady!!

      A cheesecake muffin – now that’s an interesting concept. Will have to think about it. Have you ever had one before? Was there cream cheese in the middle??

        Yes!! It was just perfect as far as I was concerned.. The muffin itself was a vanilla based muffin, not a cupcake, and was divine to bite into.. I have kinda played around with one, just not too much.. Just had one a couple weeks ago and the person refused to give up her recipe 🙂 so I turned to you! I know it had vanilla bean in it also as I could see the specks.. Now I am hungry for one..

    Those look yummy! I just made banana bread the other day and had been debating the chocolate chip muffin route, but went with the loaves. I love your gorgeous site!
