Sweet, yet filling, these muffins are a great breakfast or snack option. Bananas and chocolate chips are a natural pair, and the vanilla or maple glaze adds a nice twist.

Start Cooking
Prepare the Muffins
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
In one bowl, cream together the first seven ingredients in the order listed.
-
In a separate bowl, mash the two ripe bananas and mix in baking soda dissolved in one teaspoon boiling water.
-
Add the banana mixture to the first bowl and cream together.
-
Add the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using), and mix by hand.
-
Thoroughly grease a muffin tin and fill the molds about three-quarters of the way. Be aware that these muffins do grow while baking.
-
Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, and check after 17 minutes. The edges will be slightly browned when the muffins are ready.
-
Remove from the oven, and allow muffins to cool completely before glazing.
Prepare the Glaze
-
In a small bowl, place the ingredients in the order listed.
-
With a fork, whisk the ingredients thoroughly to create a medium consistency.
-
When the muffins are completely cooled, lightly dip their tops into the bowl of glaze and place them upright on a plate to dry. Allow the glaze to drip over the edges of the muffins for a nice effect.

Hearty Banana Muffins with Vanilla or Maple Glaze
Absolutely Delicious!
I found this recipe after I had 2 bananas that needed to be used. I chose this one since it seemed simple. It was a winner in my house! It went so quickly that I had to make another batch. Interestingly, when making my second batch, I used half regular and half mini chocolate chips and it came out much better. I also didn’t use a full 2 cups of chocolate chips. Thanks for an amazing melt in your mouth recipe! -

made into loaf?
is it possible to make this into a bread or cake in a loaf pan? if so, how much longer should it bake? thanksReplies:
You can totally do that. With ovens so finicky and pan size so varying. I start on the lowest time and keep checking that the tops are firm and that a toothpick comes out clean. -

1/2 cup flour?
Is 1/2 cup flour correct? I assume the recipe really means 1 1/2 cups, as muffin batter is not normally so thin.Replies:
It's a typo, it's really 1 and 1/2
