Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g (2 ½ cups) all-purpose flour
- 150 g (¾ cup) granulated sugar
- 70 g (⅓ cup) light brown sugar
- 10 g (2 teaspoons) baking powder
- 2 g (½ teaspoon) baking soda
- 2 g (½ teaspoon) salt
- 2 large ripe bananas (about 250 g, mashed)
- 120 g (½ cup) cream cheese, softened
- 90 ml (⅓ cup) vegetable oil
- 100 g (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mash the ripe bananas in another bowl until smooth. Mix in the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until creamy.
- Add the vegetable oil and eggs to the banana mixture and blend until fully combined.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Mix just until no dry flour is visible.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense muffins. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
