Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, thoroughly mashed until smooth

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

1 large egg, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, plus extra for topping (optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional, can be omitted for a nut-free version)

Sliced bananas and a dollop of whipped cream for topping (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it with cooking spray.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture vigorously until all the ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, sea salt, and sifted all-purpose flour until evenly mixed. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.

        Fold in Add-Ins: Carefully fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) until they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill each muffin cavity about two-thirds full with the batter, ensuring an even distribution among the cups.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.

              Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for approximately 5 minutes. After that, gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve: For an indulgent treat, serve the muffins warm, topped with a slice of banana and a generous dollop of whipped cream.
