Ingrediënten en vervangingen
Voor dit recept heb je maar een paar simpele ingrediënten nodig. Hier lees je hoe je ze kunt kiezen en vervangen.

- Meel voor alle doeleinden – This forms the main structure of the muffins, giving them their classic texture. For a gluten-free version, use my Omrekeningsgids voor glutenvrije producten. The recipe works with whole wheat flour or spelt flour.
- Geprakte banaan – This acts as the primary sweetener and moistener, contributing to the banana bread flavor.
- Lichte olijfolie – This adds moisture and helps keep the muffins tender. You can also use any other light-flavored oil or even melted coconut oil for a subtle tropical note.
- Amandelmelk – This provides liquid to the batter and helps create the right consistency. Oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk all work well too.
- Bakpoeder – This is a leavening agent that helps the muffins rise and become light and fluffy.
- Bakpoeder – Another leavening agent, baking soda reacts with the acidic banana to help the muffins rise.
- Kaneel – For more flavors.
- Vanille-extract – This brings a lovely aromatic depth to the overall flavor of the muffins.
- Donkere chocoladeschilfers – These are folded into the batter, melting as the muffins bake to create gooey pockets of chocolate. You can also use chocolate chunks from a dark chocolate bar.
- Ongeraffineerde suiker – This is an optional ingredient if you want your muffins to be sweeter. Brown sugar, coconut sugar, or unrefined cane sugar are good choices here.
- Walnoten – These are an optional addition that provides a nice crunch and earthy flavor to the muffins.
How to Make Banana Bread Chocolate Chips Muffins
This recipe is super simple to make. Here are the key steps in a few pictures.

Chop your chocolate bar on a wooden board – skip if using chocolate chips.

Mash and measure the banana and add all the liquid ingredients.

Stir the batter and incorporate the dry ingredients.

Stir and pour the chocolate chips into the batter.

Scoop the batter and transfer it to a muffin pan lined with paper cups.

Bake in the center rack of the oven for 25-30 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
Carine's baktips
Let me share a few more tips for perfect banana muffins.
- Perfectly Ripe Bananas – For the best flavor and sweetness, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots on their skins. They’re much easier to mash and contribute more natural sweetness.
- Meet nauwkeurig – When measuring your mashed banana, make sure to pack it firmly into the measuring cup to get the precise amount. This is important for the muffin’s texture.
- Niet te veel mengen – Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet, mix just until no streaks of flour remain. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins. A few small lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
- Fill Evenly – Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups. This helps ensure all the muffins bake at the same rate and come out consistently.
- Controleer op gaarheid – To test if your muffins are baked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached, they’re ready.
- Helemaal koel – Let the muffins cool on a wire rack for at least an hour. This allows their structure to set properly and prevents them from becoming soggy.
- Crunch toevoegen – For extra texture, try folding in other chopped nuts like pecans or even some seeds, like sunflower or pumpkin seeds, into the batter.

Yammmmm!! ❤️
Hi there, can maple syrup be used instead of sugar. If yes, how much?
No you can’t swap a crystal sweetener wit ha liquid sweetener, the texture will be off. But you can use coconut sugar for a healthier refined sugar free option.
Delicious. I did use coconut sugar. I ate 3.
Wat geweldig om te horen! Dankjewel.
Yum Yum!!! late night baking to satisfy sweet tooth. The batch came out very well. However, I agree that the optional sugar which I added made the muffins a bit too sweet. Thanks for sharing these recipes.
I agree, if your bananas are ripe enough, the sugar is truly optional! That’s why I added this as an option, I know some of my readers like the recipe on the sweet sides, but most of us like to limit the added sugar too. Thanks for baking with me!
Delicious. I’m glad I skipped the sugar / cinnamon as the banana and chocolate flavor was terrific. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’ll be making again for sure.
I agree, the chocolate and banana are both very sweet! That’s why I like to add a note about the optional added sugar. Thanks for trying my recipes, and taking a minute to review as well.
Heerlijk
