My mom made these all the time when I was growing up. They're super quick and easy to make, a great bite size snack, and definitely fall on the thin line between muffin and cupcake. If you're a fan of the banana and chocolate combo, these are not to be missed!
Happy Baking!

1.5 cups AP flour (180g)
2/3c sugar (166g)
¼ teaspoon salt
1.5 teaspoon baking powder

Heat oven to 375F.
In your mixing bowl, whisk together 180g AP flour (1.5c), 166g sugar (2/3c), ¼ tsp salt, and 1.5tsp baking powder.
With the same fork you used to mash your banana, mix the mashed banana into the melted butter.
Add 1 egg and ½ tsp vanilla and mix well with the fork.
Add 1/4c milk and mix to combine.
Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients in the mixing bowl, then whisk to combine (don't overmix; stop as soon as there's no traces of flour left in the batter).
Add ¾ c mini chocolate chips, gently whisk a few more times to combine.
Either line your muffin tins with liners, or spray them with cooking spray.
Scoop (or spoon) 2tsp of batter into each, and bake 13-15 minutes until barely browning.
Cool in tins. Will keep room temperature in tupperware 3-4 days, refrigerated up to one week
