- - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- **Preheat the oven**
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
- **Mash the bananas**
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
- **Mix the wet ingredients**
- Stir in the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- **Combine the dry ingredients**
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- **Mix the batter**
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- **Fill the muffin tin**
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired.
- **Bake**
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few crumbs (melted chocolate is fine).
- **Cool and serve**
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
