Instructions

  1. Prep: Heat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Mix butter and sugars: In a large bowl, whisk melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.

  5. Add banana mixture: Stir in mashed bananas, lemon juice, and buttermilk until evenly combined.
  6. Combine batter: Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently just until no dry flour remains. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in chocolate: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate and dark chocolate chips.
  8. Fill muffin cups: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  9. Bake: Bake 18–22 minutes, until the tops are domed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Very ripe bananas produce the best flavor and sweetness.
