How to Make This Recipe
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line up a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In the mixing bowl, sift flour, baking soda, and salt. Sifting dry ingredients will help to avoid clumps. Set aside. In a large bowl, add white granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add melted butter. Using a hand or electric mixer, combine the butter and sugars on medium speed. Continue mixing, add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla extract. In a separate mixing bowl, mash up four ripe bananas (medium-sized). Then, add them to the muffin batter.
Tip from Marina: If you do not have ripe bananas, you can place unripe bananas on a baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 350oF. Cool cooked bananas before use.
Add dry ingredients and mix until all combine. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips. Fill cupcake liners. You can use an ice cream scoop or a regular spoon to help. Top the muffins with extra chocolate chips. This is optional. Bake muffins at 350°F for 20-24 minutes.

- You can fold some nuts into the batter. 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans will work well.
- Mix nuts with raisins or other dry fruits into the batter for more flavor.
