Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
True story: whenever I’ve had a rough day or week, the one sure fire cure to get me out of a slump is to grab my baker’s mitts and whip up a delicious treat in the kitchen.
I don’t know what it is, but baking for me has always been somewhat of a stress reliever, and it sure doesn’t hurt to make something that literally fills the whole house with the most delicious aroma!
So of course when I let the bananas go bad again for the 900th time yesterday (don’t judge), I figured why not take advantage and make some banana muffins?
(This non-stick muffin pan is THE best for making muffins and cupcakes!)
But not just any plain ol’ banana muffins. Nope, these muffins have all the right flavors in all the right places. Bananas? Check. Cinnamon Sugar deliciousness? Check. Chocolate Chips because everything in life is better with chocolate in it? Double-Check.
Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
After indulging in one of these yesterday afternoon, I realize these could easily be considered a dessert, but hey life’s short and why not start your day off right?
We all deserve a treat every now and then and plus these could totally pass for healthy muffins since they have bananas in them. 😉
Okay, I’m kidding, but seriously they’re so good you won’t be able to pass these up. Oh and in case you’re wondering, I made these from start to finish in less than 30 minutes. I call that winning in my book. (Scroll to the bottom of this post for the pinnable recipe!)
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 large bananas, mashed
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt butter in a small microwavable bowl. Set aside to cool.
- Combine flour and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
- Using a separate bowl combine mashed bananas, sugar, egg, vanilla, and melted butter.
- Add wet ingredients in with dry ingredients until incorporated. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
- Place 1/4 cup of batter in each tin of a well-sprayed muffin pan.
- Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a bowl for the muffin topping.
- Using a spoon lightly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over each muffin. With a toothpick, swirl throughout the top of the muffin and sprinkle with more mixture, as desired. Top with additional chocolate chips.
- Bake in oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Enjoy your delicious breakfast or dessert treats!

Banana and chocolate chips and muffins are about as good as it gets to me. I really should use my ripe bananas creatively in this recipe next time.

I wanted to know what these were when I saw them on InstaStories. These look so bomb. I love anything that contains bananas and chocolate chips in it.
Thanks Jasmine! They’re definitely worth making some time! 🙂
Yep, once the bananas get too old, it’s definitely time to start baking! We can never finish all the bananas in our house, either.
Haha, every time at least 2-3 go bad lol, I should really just start buying a couple instead of a whole bunch. 🙂
I’m on a restricted diet and I’ve been trying to figure out what I can make to satisfy my chocolate craving. This recipe is going to work GREAT for me because I can use my smaller muffin tin and get my chocolate craving!
Oh yes, these would be perfect as mini muffins! And feel free to variate the recipe according to taste/preferences! Enjoy! 🙂
So many delicious ingredients together in one treat! I made a cinnamon crunch banana bread one time and it was amazing; banana and cinnamon go so well together! I bet chocolate chips add a perfect amount of sweetness to this treat as well.
Thank-you! That sounds amazing too!
Oh my goodness! These chocolate chip banana muffins look so darn fabulous. I want to take a big bite of one of these right now. Do you ship to California? Just kidding! I’m looking forward to whipping up a batch of these beauties for breakfast on Friday. 🙂
Thank-you! Haha and I totally would have sent you some! 😉 Hope you enjoyed!
Under 30 minutes? Count me in! Also – if there’s banana included, it counts for a healthy breakfast in my book 😉
Haha, right?! Fruit = healthy…lol
Wow these look sooooo good! Want like 5 now lol great recipe
Thanks Michael! They were pretty amazing! 🙂
My family would LOVE these! And I think I have every ingredient in my pantry right now 🙂

These look so yum! I need this in my life daily. Pinning for those rainy days when my kids can’t go outside.
Thank-you! These would be the perfect rainy day treat! 🙂
I am the same way. When I feel kinda stress I always cook something. Being in the kitchen seems to make me feel better. This last few months I think I have let bananas goes bad so many times so I can definitely relate hahahha. This recipe looks delicious I can’t wait to make some of this for the party.
It just makes you feel better, right? And glad to know I’m not the only one letting bananas go bad haha. But it just makes better banana bread! 😉

Thank-you! Hope you love them!
These look fantastic. I’m a huge fan of anything with banana and chocolate. I’m sure the Cinnamon Sugar adds a lovely touch.
Thank-you! It’s the perfect flavor combo!
I love how you had done a before the of the bananas and an after of the muffins on IG. So creative! These look absolutely mouth-watering!
Thank-you! It always amazes me how you can take almost rotten bananas and they make the most epic banana bread #scienceiscool haha!
I was excited to make these and took out of oven but they didn’t rise… the recipe I now realize has no baking powder or baking soda so they were a flop… would love to make again with that part added.
Oh no, so sorry to hear that Brenda! I always use self-rising flour and I apologize for not specifying in the ingredient list- I just updated it for clarity. Hope your next try is a success and you enjoy them! They really are yummy 🙂
