Notes

  • Use a Ripe Banana: For the best flavor and natural sweetness, make sure your banana is nice and ripe before using it.
  • Let the Batter Rest Before Stirring in the Chocolate Chips: After blending everything smooth, let the batter sit for 5 minutes before stirring in the chocolate chips. This allows the oats to absorb some of the moisture and thickens the batter so the chips don't all sink straight to the bottom.
  • Don't Skip the Vanilla: Erin makes a point of noting that 1 tsp of vanilla extract makes a huge difference in these muffins. It elevates the whole flavor of the muffin.
