Ingredients:

  • 3 large (approx. 12 oz / 340g) overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large (50g) egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • 1 tsp (2g) salt
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions:

  1. Get the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your tin with paper liners or grease them well with butter.
  2. Mash the overripe bananas in a large bowl until they are smooth with very few lumps.
  3. Stir in the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until the mixture looks smooth and the sugar has mostly dissolved.
  4. Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the wet bowl.
  5. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Note: Stop immediately to prevent a tough texture.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
  7. Divide the batter into 10 cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes until the tops are deep golden brown.
  9. Poke the center with a toothpick; it should come out clean or a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack.
