# Ingredients:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 cup golden brown sugar
04 - 2 eggs
05 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
06 - 4 ripe bananas, mashed

→ Dry Ingredients

07 - 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1 tsp baking soda
09 - 1/2 tsp salt

→ Add-ins

10 - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
11 - 1 cup walnuts, chopped

# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, golden brown sugar, and melted butter using an electric hand mixer for about 1 minute on medium-low speed.
02 - Add vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture. Mix on medium speed until well blended.
03 - Mash ripe bananas in a separate bowl and fold them into the muffin batter.
04 - Sift all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet banana batter until just combined.
05 - Gently fold the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula.
06 - Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and evenly fill each liner with batter. This recipe yields about 12-13 muffins.
07 - Top each muffin with additional chocolate chips and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

# Notes:

01 - Sifting dry ingredients helps avoid clumps of flour and ensures even mixing.
02 - Ripen bananas quickly by baking them at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes, then cooling before use.
03 - Using cupcake liners minimizes mess and makes storage easier.
04 - Add chocolate chips on top for a professional appearance and extra flavor.
