Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Set aside.

Add sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup approximately 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
