Preheat the oven to 350°F. Fill a standard size muffin tin with liners and set aside.
Use an electric hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl for 1-2 minutes.
Once the butter and sugar are thoroughly creamed, whisk in the eggs for about 30 seconds.
Add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Continue whisking at a low-medium speed until the mixture is smooth.
Gently whisk in the flour and baking soda. Once the flour is fully incorporated, fold in the chocolate chips.
Fill each muffin liner with batter and bake your muffins for 18 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
You can store these muffins on the counter for up to 5 days in a large airtight container.
When storing your muffins, I recommend letting them cook down before transferring them to a container. If your muffins are still hot they will create some condensation that’ll drip back down on the muffins.
You can use milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips in this recipe. For some extra chocolatey goodness you can up the chocolate chips to 2 cups.
The riper the bananas the better. You can use bananas that are on the green side but they won’t add as much sweetness to the muffins and will be harder to mash.
Add some flavor to your muffins by sprinkling 2 teaspoons of cinnamon into your muffin batter.
You can check to make sure your muffins are done baking by poking a few with a toothpick. As long as the toothpick comes out mostly clean you can remove the muffins from the oven.
