Double Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins are the perfect breakfast, brunch, and snack time treat. These little magical muffins are easy enough for even a weekday lil something special. I love that they can be whipped up and on the table in about 30 minutes, kind of like another favorite, my Blueberry Streusel Muffin.

The fact that a decadent tasting, double chocolate banana muffin so full of melty chocolate chips is low in calories and low in fat is a huge plus. Or an excuse to have several…you decide!

It always comes down to what to do with those 2 or 3 bruised up, over-ripe bananas, right? I hate to throw them away, and I really don’t want to eat them. The solution? Bake with them! And DOUBLE bonus (pun intended) when they are doubly chocolatey melty goodness.

What makes these muffins magical?

  • 10 minute preparation and 20 minute bake time means they are on the table in 30 minutes!
  • So quick and easy that even the kids can help cook.
  • Pantry staple ingredients and nothing fancy.
  • The Secret Magic Moist Muffin Makers? Sour cream and lots of mashed bananas.
  • Bonus – They are HEALTHY!

How to make and what you will need for Double Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients that include:

  • flour
  • baking soda
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • cocoa powder
bowl of wet ingredients and bowl of dry ingredients being prepared for double chocolate banana muffins

In a large mixing bowl, cream together:

  • butter
  • sugar
  • milk
  • eggs
  • sour cream
  • mashed bananas
  • vanilla

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until combined.
Next, fold in:

  • chocolate chips

Bake to magical muffin perfection!

Tips for baking the perfect muffins.

  • Don’t overwork the batter, unless the recipe like this one has a step for creaming ingredients together, stir them by hand. Overworked muffins do not rise as well and can be tough.
  • Do not full the muffin tin all the way to the top with batter. Three-fourth full is usually perfect.
  • A 4-ounce ice cream scoop or a 1/4 measuring cup is the perfect amount for a standard size muffin tin.
