Banana Bread with Chocolate

What’s even better than banana bread? Banana Bread with CHOCOLATE! 

I only recently tried banana bread with chocolate chips.

This Banana Bread recipe has become very popular and I LOVE reading everyone's different interpretations, opinions, and additions. You're all so creative!

One of the most common additions is chocolate chips, so I had to try it... and I get it. It's goooooodd.

My family, who are HUGE banana bread fans, LOVE these muffins. My uncle told me I NEEDED to put this recipe on my site.

We also enjoy the combination of bananas and chocolate with these Banana Bread Cookies. You should definitely try them too!

How to Make Banana Bread Muffins

This recipe is similar to my popular Banana Bread recipe (and it's just as easy!)

There are some changes though. First, I omitted the nutmeg.

Second, and this is an important one, I decreased the amount of sugar in this recipe to allow for the sweetness of the chocolate chips.

I was worried the addition of chocolate would make the original banana bread recipe too sweet. And, it was the right call.

These banana bread chocolate chip muffins are the perfect amount of sweet.

How Many Bananas?

I prefer to use THREE bananas.

It's possible to make these muffins with just two bananas. You could also make them with four. But, in my experience, four bananas can lead to muffins that are TOO moist or dense.

If you only have one banana, check out these Banana Bread Cookies or, if you have a dog, these Healthy Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats (Only 3 Ingredients!).

Overripe Bananas

The most important thing in this simple banana chocolate chip muffin recipe is to use overripe bananas.

The peels should be turning brown. The insides should be mushy. The key is to use the bananas that no one wants to eat. 

Overripe bananas are sweeter because more starch has converted to sugar. They’re also easier to smash and smoothly incorporate into the bread. This leads to moist banana deliciousness. 

Tools for the BEST Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Wilton Perfect Results Premium Non-Stick Bakeware Muffin Pan & Cupcake Pan - MY Favorite Cupcake Pan. It doesn't rust as quickly or easily as the one in my photos. It's durable, nonstick, scratch-resistant, and dishwasher safe.

Even though I use a great nonstick pan, I still like to use cupcake liners for easy cleanup. These Wilton Snowflake Cupcake Cases are perfect for the winter season. I also frequently use these Wilton Polka Dots Standard Baking Cups because they're fun and cute.

An Ice Cream Scoop makes filling each muffin cup easier. There's less of a mess and each muffin bakes to be about the same size.
