Easy Banana Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins Recipe

How to Make the Best Banana Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

• Ingredients you'll need: All purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, melted butter, large egg, vanilla, sour cream, mashed banana, mini chocolate chips, light brown sugar and toffee bits.
• Kitchen tools you'll need: A medium bowl, a small bowl, a hand mixer, whisk, a small scoop or teaspoon to divide the batter, measuring cups and spoons and a 24 cup mini muffin pan or 3 twelve cup pans.
• How do you make Mini Muffins? First, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt using a whisk. In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, butter, egg, mashed banana and vanilla. Add the wet to the dry ingredients mixing with a hand mixer for 1-2 minutes or just until fully moistened. Next, fold in the mini chocolate chips and toffee bits, then separate the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Bake for 15-17 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean.
• I regularly use a whisk to sift together my dry ingredients for baking and I can tell you firsthand that it works like a charm.
• You can use a small scoop or a teaspoon to divide the batter filling the wells around ½ full.
• Mini chocolate chips work best in this recipe as they fill the batter and melt to the perfect consistency while baking.
• You can use plain English toffee bits or chocolate covered Heath bits for this recipe in the same amount.
• You can enjoy these warm, chilled or at room temperature.
• I prefer making these the day they'll be served to maintain the caramelized top and the soft centers. That being said, you can safely store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. They pack-up beautifully and kids of all ages love them.
• You can also freeze these muffins for up to 3 months.
