Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

12 muffins
These Banana chocolate chip muffins are perfect, moist, easy to make and sure to be a hit. These muffins have a moist crumbly texture, and buttery flavor spiced with cinnamon. You only need bananas and few pantry ingredients to get started.
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups, or line with muffin wrappers.
In a large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg, cinnamon, vanilla extract and melted butter until well incorporated. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened and large lumps have disappeared.
In a separate bowl mix 1 tablespoon of flour with the chocolate chips and fold them in the batter carefully.
Use a large ice-cream scoop or a tablespoon to spoon batter into prepared muffin cups until ¾ full.
Put the pan in preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
Take out the pan and let cool for 10 minutes at room temperature. Take out the muffins and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
*I use milk chocolate chips because that’s what my family prefers. But if you are a fan of semisweet chocolate chips, you can easily substitute them.
