Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup cookie butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cookie butter and brown sugar to the mashed bananas, whisking until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure no lumps remain.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana-cookie butter mixture, stirring just until the ingredients are incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing the flavors to settle and the texture to set.
- Optional: Drizzle with additional melted cookie butter or sprinkle with extra chocolate chunks before serving.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best results!
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Add Extra Chocolate: For an extra indulgent treat, sprinkle some additional chocolate chunks on top of the muffins before baking. It adds a lovely melty touch!
- Cool Properly: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents them from breaking apart.
- Experiment with Toppings: For a gourmet touch, consider drizzling some melted cookie butter on top of the cooled muffins or adding a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet-salty contrast.
- Storage: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze well, so feel free to batch bake!
