These easy mini banana chocolate chip muffins are tender, moist, and perfect for lunchboxes. Made with simple ingredients and Greek yogurt for extra softness, they bake in just 10 minutes and are a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (65g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (60g)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (60g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk (30ml)
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (90g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with mini paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add melted butter, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Use a spatula to fold gently until just combined (a few streaks of flour are fine).
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly dispersed.
  7. Fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Rotate the pan halfway through baking.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Let muffins cool completely before storing to prevent sogginess. These freeze well for up to 3 months.
