Craving something slightly healthy but sweet? These are the best banana chocolate chip muffins and are a great way to use up overripe produce. They work great for a quick breakfast or snack!

I've been searching for a filling, on-the-go breakfast and finally found it in these muffins! I make a dozen or two on the weekend and I'm good to go all week! Plus, now I know what to do with those overripe bananas I seem to always have on hand! #muffinrecipe #easymuffinrecipe #bananachocolatechipmuffin #chocolatechipmuffin #bananamuffinrecipe

While Joseph and I enjoy our go-to Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie almost every morning for breakfast (it’s our first-meal-of-the-day of choice!), there’s not always time to throw together the ingredients and power up the blender.

So the next best option? Muffins!

Especially if I have these delectable muffins on hand—they truly are the BEST banana chocolate-chip muffins of all time.

These muffins feature an ultra soft center with a sprinkling of chocolate chips for added sweetness. It’s the perfect way to use overripe bananas, and if you’re anything like me, you always have a few of those either on the countertop or stashed away in the freezer! (They’re good for you!)

Bonus: These muffins make a great snack, too. I love to make an extra batch or two (sometimes in a mini muffin tin like this one for an even more snack-friendly size) and freeze in a gallon freezer bag. Just heat one up for a few seconds in the microwave for perfectly gooey chocolate chips!

The Process Behind the Best Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Ever

Step 1: Mix together mashed bananas, eggs, oil, and vanilla.

Step 2: Add in sugar, then flour and baking soda until just combined. (Don’t overstir!)

Step 3: Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 4: Fill paper-lined muffin cups using a cookie scoop or tablespoon.

Pro Tip: Remember, fill cups only about 3/4 full!

Step 4: Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes or until slightly brown or golden. And get ready to enjoy mornings again!

    Hi, these are great but was just wondering how many calories for one muffin.

      I can’t say for sure, but based on other recipes I’ve researched that use about the same ingredients, I would say it’s about 200 calories for 1 muffin. Hope that helps!

    Just made these and they came out pretty good….. But next time I would use just 2 bananas (not 3) and definitely less oil (mine came out pretty oily when finished).

    I found your recipe on Pinterest yesterday and gave it a try last night, they were delicious. Very moist even the next day. I used the mini chips semi sweet as it’s what I had but next time will use the milk chocolate version as the recipe calls. I only did 1/2 the recipe and it yielded 7 regular size muffins. Will try others from this site.

      So glad you enjoyed them, Irene! I’ve had a craving for these muffins lately and have some bananas in the freezer just waiting for me to make them again. 🙂

    I make banana chocolate chip muffins all the time because a) I always have overripe bananas b) my guy loves chocolate chip cookies, but he’s not getting them for breakfast!

      Joseph (my husband) would totally eat chocolate chip cookies for breakfast if he could get away with it. HAHA!

      I use vegetable oil but you could probably use coconut oil as well!

I used to feel guilty for reading fiction novels. I used to feel guilty for reading fiction novels. 😔⁣
⁣
Once in high school, someone told me that I needed to expand my world through real stories and information instead of reading all that fluff. 🥴⁣
⁣
I understand the point they were trying to make. If you want to learn how to do something or get to know historical figures or grow personally in a positive way, non-fiction will help you get there. ⁣
⁣
But fiction matters too... for so many reasons! Here are my three: 📚⁣
⁣
1. Fiction helps me practice empathy. I see the world with new eyes because of the way the author invites me to step into the shoes of a beloved character. 🥰⁣
⁣
2. With fiction, you can live thousands of lives. George R.R. Martin said, “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.” Fiction allows me to enter a world I don’t get to experience in real life. 💗⁣
⁣
3. Fiction helps me write better non-fiction. When we hear a well-told story, our brain reacts as if we are experiencing the story ourselves. So when I read a particularly captivating passage, it gives me ideas on how to weave storytelling into my writing too. 💪⁣
⁣
I’d love to hear why you think fiction matters. Comment below and tell me one of your favorite things about reading fiction!⁣
⁣
And if you love books just as much as I do, I invite you to follow my new bookstagram account @theunclutteredbookshelf where we can talk about books ALL the time. 🤩
STORAGE IDEA… for paint swatches! ☝ Keep and l STORAGE IDEA… for paint swatches! ☝ Keep and label the colors you use, then tuck them away in a small envelope for reference. ⁣
⁣
Whenever I go searching for a new rug or pillows, I grab this envelope so I  have ALL my paint colors on hand.  I can match the colors seamlessly without trying to guess if the blue on my walls trends more blue than green. 🤔⁣
⁣
Another perk? You won’t spend an excessive amount of time in HomeGoods waffling between decorating decisions. Not that I’ve ever done that... 😆⁣

‘Tis the season for spring-cleaning your home … and your finances! 💸⁣
⁣
While most of us use the spring season to deep clean spaces we might otherwise forget (or ignore—fan blades, I’m talking to you), let’s not forget how necessary it is to do a financial check-in too. 💰⁣
⁣
If it’s been a while since you last overhauled your budget, updated your savings goals, etc., not to worry. I have just the thing to give your finances a fresh start! 🥳⁣
⁣
On the blog this week, I’ve listed 7 essential steps to help you clear out the cobwebs. Don’t be intimidated—I promise it will be fun! And once you have these systems in place, you’ll enjoy less stress during the rest of the year. ⁣

⚡NEWSFLASH:⚡ While there’s so much you could ⚡NEWSFLASH:⚡ While there’s so much you could be doing, there’s only a handful of things you can do at one time. 💪⁣
⁣
The authors of the book The One Thing get this. ⁣
⁣
If you’ve not yet read this book, here’s the main premise: 📣⁣
⁣
Not everything can matter equally. If everything is important, then nothing is. And extraordinary results are directly determined by how you narrow your focus. ⁣
⁣
In other words? Balance is nothing more than an illusion. 🔮⁣
⁣
On the surface, balance sounds like an ideal destination, where every part of our life will magically fall into place and we’ll finally experience the peace and contentment we long for.⁣
⁣
But balance prevents you from “going all in” on anything. Balance chains you to the middle so you can avoid the extremes of the right and left, never committing a significant amount of time to any one area of your life. If you approach anything with balance, each task will tug at you, claiming just as much importance as the next. ⚠⁣
⁣
And equal approaches almost never result in equal outcomes. 🙅⁣
⁣
So embrace being out of balance. Go “all in” on the things that are important to you and let the rest go. 👋⁣
⁣
One of my favorite quotes from The One Thing is, “The key to success isn’t in all the things we do, but in the handful of things we do well.” 🥳⁣
⁣
Think about what you want to do well and then leave what you can behind. And of course, grab the book if you’re able and add it to your reading stack. I have a feeling you’ll love it like I did! 💞⁣
⁣
Have you read this book yet?
The discbound notebook is the BEST thing to happen The discbound notebook is the BEST thing to happen to bullet journaling. It’s true! 🤯⁣
⁣
If you’ve never heard of this type of notebook before, it contains two covers (front and back) with your pages sandwiched in the middle. But the differentiating factor are the “discs” that hold everything together. 🥰⁣
⁣
With a three-ring binder, you can’t fold the notebook back on itself. But with a discbound notebook, you CAN, which allows for easier writing. And you don’t have those annoying snaps of a three-ring binder either! Just pull the page off and then press it back down when you’re done. 😉⁣
⁣
With a discbound notebook, you have the freedom to…⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Rearrange pages however you wish and whenever you wish 💪⁣
2️⃣ Organize your planner into sections 🎉⁣
3️⃣ Use bullet journal printables to save time drawing layouts (this is the solution to the loudest objection I hear about bullet journaling) ⏰⁣
4️⃣ Throw away pages when you mess up (as opposed to ripping a page out of a bound notebook and risk the whole notebook falling apart) 😳⁣
⁣
If you’re not satisfied with the 2021 planner you picked, try a discbound notebook ... bullet journal style. This week’s blog post dishes all the details on what you need to set one up along with a video on how I use mine! 📣⁣
⁣
Drop a notebook emoji in the comments below if you want the link. 📒
Last week the world watched Harry and Meghan’s t Last week the world watched Harry and Meghan’s tell-all interview. 📺⁣
⁣
I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed with the royal family (even though I did hang a photo of Prince William in my high school locker!). But I bought a pint of non-dairy Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and settled in for the two-hour tell-all interview. 🍦⁣
⁣
And here’s my main takeaway:⁣
⁣
Suicidal thoughts. 💭⁣
⁣
Yep, we’re going there today. ⁣
⁣
When someone says they “didn’t want to be alive,” don’t ignore their pleas or pass them off as attention-seekers or say they can’t get help because it would look bad on the royal family (all things that were told to Meghan). 🤯⁣
⁣
Nope. When someone says that, believe them. ⁣
⁣
Even though my life looks completely different than Meghan’s, depression whispered the same lies into my ear. And when I tried to get help, I was given Christian books and resources that criticized medication and labeled depression as a spiritual issue. ⁣
⁣
We must remember that words hold power. When we throw out flippant remarks about mental health, it negatively affects the way people view themselves. 👀⁣
⁣
Their brain is already at war. We don’t need to ruin their chances of winning. 🏆⁣
⁣
So regardless of your opinion about Meghan or the royal family, I hope you hear my heart in this. 💞⁣
⁣
We need to stop believing people only when it’s too late. We need to believe them now… and make sure they know they have our full support. Someone close to you right now could be struggling with their own thoughts and you don’t even know it. 🤔⁣
⁣
So be careful what you say. ⁣
⁣
Meghan probably won’t hear or read your opinion, but your friend will.
