Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a 6-cup muffin tin.
In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Whisk in egg, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until well blended.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently stir until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in chocolate chips.
Divide batter evenly among 6 muffin cups. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
