Description

These Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are a quick and delicious treat perfect for breakfast or a snack. Made with mashed banana and milk chocolate chips, they are moist, flavorful, and easy to prepare using a simple stovetop skillet method rather than traditional baking.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 banana, mashed

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Add-ins

  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Beat the egg: Break the egg into the bowl of a stand mixer, discarding the shell. Using the wire whisk attachment, beat on Medium-High speed until frothy, about 2 minutes. This helps incorporate air for a light texture.
  2. Mix dry and wet ingredients: Add the flour, milk, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt to the bowl. Mix until just combined and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Fold in the mashed banana briefly until incorporated.
  3. Stir in chocolate chips: Gently stir in the milk chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter without overmixing.
  4. Heat skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over a burner set just below medium heat to prepare for cooking.
  5. Cook muffins like pancakes: Drop ½ cup portions of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the top and edges look dry, then carefully flip. Cook until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Enjoy your banana chocolate chip muffins warm, optionally with fresh maple syrup for added sweetness.

Notes

  • Using a skillet instead of an oven is a quick alternative to traditional baking, perfect for when you don’t want to heat the oven.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.
  • The batter may resemble pancake batter, so cooking times are shorter than typical muffins.
  • Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning before the inside cooks through.
  • Substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit if desired.
