Notes

To check the muffins are done insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin and if it comes out clean with no wet batter they're ready. You can also fold some nuts into the batter to switch it up slightly, ½ cup of walnuts and pecans would work really well! You can add in any kind of chocolate you like from milk, dark or white. You can omit the chocolate chips altogether if you like or swap them for nuts or raisins. You can also add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter it's a super delicious addition during Fall. If you'd like to make a whole loaf rather than muffins then follow my recipe for Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. It's important to use ripe bananas because underripe bananas won't mash properly and will cause a lumpy batter. If your bananas aren't quite ripe enough follow my directions below to ripen them quickly at home.
