Chef's Note
For the moistest muffins, use bananas that are very ripe with lots of brown spots. If your bananas aren't quite ripe enough, you can quickly ripen them by placing them on a baking sheet and baking at 300°F for 15-20 minutes until blackened. The Greek yogurt adds moisture and a subtle tang that balances the sweetness perfectly.

Ingredients
3 medium ripe bananas
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional for topping)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- 2
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth with some small chunks remaining for texture.
- 3
Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly. Add it to the mashed bananas along with both sugars. Whisk until well combined.
- 4
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt until incorporated.
- 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix as this will result in tough muffins.
- 7
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for topping if desired.
- 8
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips and turbinado sugar on top if using.
- 9
Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter).
- 10
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
