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 chip 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. How to ripen bananas - If your bananas are not quite ready or ripe you can easily ripen them in an oven so they are ready to use. Place them on a baking sheet and bake the bananas with the skin on for 10 minutes at 350F. let them cool slightly before using. Storage - The muffins will keep well for 5-7 days in an airtight container or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
