Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow or white cake mix
- 3 Ripe bananas
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease them lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) to the mashed bananas. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts gently using a spatula.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
