Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring often, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

In a large bowl, add the browned butter and light brown sugar. Whisk until well combined. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, mashed bananas, and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.

Sprinkle in the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the all-purpose flour and gently mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed.

Divide the batter evenly into a lined muffin tin. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) without opening the oven. Continue baking for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Greek Yogurt Magic ✨
Substitute Greek yogurt for some of the oil or butter to add moisture and richness while reducing fat—this creates incredibly tender muffins that stay fresh longer.
Chocolate Chip Coating Trick 🍫
Toss your chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before folding them in to prevent them from sinking to the bottom and ensure even distribution throughout every bite.
Banana Ripeness Sweet Spot 🍌
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots on the peel for maximum natural sweetness and moisture—overripe bananas actually produce sweeter, more flavorful muffins than perfectly yellow ones.
Oven Temperature Precision 🌡️
Use an oven thermometer to verify your actual oven temperature, as variations can cause uneven browning; bake at exactly 350°F for golden tops without dry interiors.
The Ice Water Bath Hack 💧
Place your muffin tin in ice water for 2-3 minutes before filling to cool the pan, which slows initial cooking and creates more even rise and structure in the finished muffins.
