malted banana chocolate chip muffins

The actual title of this recipe was “Darn Close to the World’s Best Malted Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins”. 

When I saw the title I was more than skeptical. To claim something is that good is not to be taken lightly. So I did the one thing I could – I made the muffins to have a taste to judge for myself.

You know, I would vote for this to be THE darn best malted banana chocolate chip muffins! They were so good I ate freshly out of the oven.

Soft, sift muffins studded with dark chocolate chips subtly flavored with banana and malt. Heaven in a bite!! 

Aden ate one and said, “Mama this is the BEST muffin in the world!” So yes, it passed Mr Picky Eater’s test with flying colors.

And as with all muffins, these are a breeze to make.

Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to make these muffins!

In a mixing bowl, add mashed bananas and sugar.

Beat with the paddle attachment of your mixer. You can also beat this by hand using a balloon whisk.

Once blended, add oil and continue beating until the oil is incorporated.

Add the eggs and beat to mix.

The dry ingredients are added in 2 batches and mix until just incorporated.

Remove the mixing bowl from the stand mixer, add the chocolate chips. Use a spatula to fold the chocolate chips into the batter. Do not over fold.

Dish the batter into the holes of a muffin pan. If you are not using liners, lightly grease the holes first.

Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes.

Cool the muffins in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.

The muffins can be kept in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before re-heating – 15-20 seconds on HIGH in the microwave will bring the softness back!
