Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  4. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  5. 1/2 cup mashed bananas
  6. 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  7. 1 large egg
  8. 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the vegetable oil and egg, whisking thoroughly to create a uniform mixture.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stop stirring when just a few streaks of flour remain visible.
  5. Fold in the white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips

  1. Choose Overripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Look for bananas with dark brown or black spots.
  2. Don't Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until the batter comes together. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense muffins.
  3. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your egg and other ingredients are at room temperature for better incorporation and a smoother batter.
  4. Chocolate Chip Distribution: Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
  5. Check for Doneness: Use the toothpick test – it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking, which can dry out the muffins.
  6. Cooling is Crucial: Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent soggy bottoms.
  7. Storage Hack: To keep muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature, and they'll stay delicious for up to 3 days.
