  1. A Young Wife says:

    What a delicious idea. We love banana bread!These would be awesome to freeze and have for breakfasts.

  2. Maria says:

    The muffins were moist but one cup of sugar was way too much, I even reduced the chocolate chips to 3/4 cups and they were overwhelmingly sweet (and I love desserts).

  3. Susan says:

    I made these tonight. Very good. I only used 1 cup of mini chocolate chips and that was perfect. Just enough chocolate. 2 cups seems excessive.

  4. Kanani says:

    I only had 2 bananas and thus made a half batch (24 muffins). They were quick to mix up and turned out very well! I didn't have mini chocolate chips, so I just chopped up some regular sized chocolate chips. I echo the other comments about the amount of chocolate chips. I usually love more chocolate, and it was delicious, but I felt that the amount of chocolate was overpowering the yummy taste of the banana. I will definitely make this again, but perhaps lessen the amount of chocolate. My kids love them though! Thank you!

  5. Jessica says:

    best muffin recipe! thank you so much for sharing! :)

  6. MegT says:

    I just made these tonight- oh man, sooo good! As suggested, I only used 1 cup of mini chocolate chips and that was plenty.

  7. Jenn says:

    Loved this recipe ! I took the advice to decrease the chocolate chips. I used 3/4 cup and 1 cup sugar. I also used the bite size muffin pan and this recipe made 96 bite size muffins. Tasted exactly like the ones you buy with 4 in a package. Moist and delicious !

  8. Nay Nay says:

    This has become my go to muffin recipe. Tonight I divide the batch. Half I made banana no chocolate chips and half pumpkin. I subbed 1 cup of pumpkin for the the 2 bananas (half recipe), No lemon juice, added 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice. They were awesome!

  9. Cyd says:

    Sounds delicious!! Thanks so much for stopping by our blog! Have a great weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!

  10. Jessie says:

    Love this recipe ,, I just took them out of the oven and my 4 year old has already snacked on 3 of them. I suggest you change the serves number from 12 to 48 . I made 24 mini muffins and 12 standard sized muffins. Will definitely be making these muffins again. Thanks !!

  11. Brianne says:

    I made these muffins for the first time last week. I didn't have a mini muffin tin so made them regular sized and with regular sized chocolate chips. They were incredible and my hubby said they are his favorite muffins ever. I made them a second time this weekend :)

  12. Cyd says:

    Hi Brianne! We are so glad they worked for you in the regular sized muffin tin too! Thanks so much for stopping by our blog! Have a great week!

  13. Anita says:

    Just did part minis and other part regular size; added 1/2 cup crushed walnuts. Can't wait till they come out of oven but batter looked (and tasted) great!!!

  14. Cyd says:

    Mmmm! That sounds so good! Thanks for letting us know some fun ways to change up these muffins!

  15. Kerri says:

    I made these for my Dayhome kids and they asked for me to make them again tomorrow? So delicious! I followed exact measurements and it made exactly 48 mini muffins. I used 3 bananas and 1 whole bag of mini chocolate chips. ***There can never be TOO much chocolate?

  16. Lauren says:

    I substituted Robin Hood revamped Gluten Free flour in this recipe and they muffins turned out great!

  17. Brooke says:

    I use this recipe to make donuts and it wows every time!!!

  18. Michelle says:

    This recipe turned out great EXCEPT I think if you are going to keep the 2 cups of mini chocolate chips in your recipe that you should advertise it/rename it to "VERY chocolate-y mini banana chocolate chip muffins". I followed the recipe and used 2 cups without thinking, and it came out to be way too much chocolate in a mini muffin for most people's tastes. Your pictures look fine, but they just show the outside of the muffins; when I bite into/cut open one of those muffins, it is very apparent how there are too many chocolate chips on the inside. A bit misleading. Wish I would've paid more attention to the comments before adding the chocolate chips.

  19. Martha Dietrich says:

    Holy smokes...just finished making these...wow are they delicious. Now I can’t wait to get more super ripe bananas ... this batch is headed to the hospital for the front line workers...they need a lot of appreciation..

  20. Cyd says:

    This is the sweetest comment ever! We are so glad you loved the muffins, and THANK YOU for delivering them to our Front Line Heroes!!! Sending love!

  21. Whitney says:

    I've tried a bunch of other recipes, but I just keep coming back to this one because it works so well. I used Greek yogurt in lieu of milk and coconut sugar instead of regular sugar, but they still turn out so beautifully. Thank you!
