Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas (about 450 g)
- 113 g (1/2 cup) cream cheese
- 200 g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 150 g (1 cup) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
- Mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. You should have about 450 g of mashed bananas.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vegetable oil to the cream cheese mixture. Whisk until well combined. Gradually incorporate the mashed bananas into this mixture.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Gently fold until no dry flour remains but still slightly lumpy.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense muffins. You can prepare the batter the night before and bake in the morning for fresh muffins.
