Servings: 12 muffins
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 bananas (over-ripe bananas)
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1⅓ cups white kamut flour (see note for all-purpose flour)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Put paper muffin liners in the muffin pan.
- In a large bowl mash the bananas really well. Add the sugars and egg and mix it well.
- Warm the butter until it is just barely melted. Add the butter to the bowl and mix it well.
- In a separate bowl add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Whisk it together.
- Add ½ of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until it is combined. Add the rest of the flour to the batter and mix just until it is combined. Avoid over-mixing the batter.
- Add the chocolate chips and fold them into the batter.
- Fill the muffin pan ¾ of the way full. You can also sprinkle more chocolate chips on top if you want them to look extra chocolately.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. The toothpick may have crumbs on it, but it shouldn't have batter stuck to it.
Notes
Tips:
- Substitute 1 ½ cups of white all-purpose flour for Kamut flour.
- Make sure bananas are over-ripe. They will produce banana muffins that have a strong banana flavor.
- When measuring the flour fluff it with a spoon and use the spoon to scoop it into the measuring cup. Don't pack it down.
- When adding the flour, mix it until combined. Over-mixing will produce a tougher muffin.
- Storage: After they have fully cooled, store baked muffins in an air-tight container or bag.
- Reheating: if desired, you can warm the muffins in the microwave for 15 seconds.
- Freezing: Wrap individual muffins in plastic wrap and then add them to a freezer bag to help them stay fresh in the freezer.
- Thawing: You can let the muffins thaw on your counter or pop them in the microwave to warm them up.
