Delight in these Banana Bliss Muffins, a twist on the classic banana cupcake with a surprise chocolatey center.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with liners.
Using muffin liners makes cleanup easier and ensures the muffins release cleanly.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure a smooth batter.
In another bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the milk and vanilla.
Use a fork to mash the bananas for a slightly chunky texture.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Fill each muffin liner one-third full with batter, add a few chocolate chips, then cover with more batter.
Ensure the chocolate chips are centered for a delightful surprise.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling the muffins prevents them from becoming soggy.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
Pair with a hot beverage for a cozy treat.
