Step by step instructions

Here is how to make and bake these Easy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. You will need a 12 muffin tin, muffin liners, 2 mixing bowls, a spatula, and a whisk.

Step 1: Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2: Whisk wet ingredients. In another large bowl, add the brown sugar, white sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, mashed bananas, and sour cream. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3: Combine together. Add the dry and wet ingredients together and mix together until almost completely combined, then mix in the mini chocolate chips and stir a few more times until no more flour streaks appear. Don't over-mix!

Step 4: Scoop and bake. Fill the liners to the top with batter and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.

Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean with no wet batter. Allow to cool, and enjoy!
