These banana dairy free muffins are moist and tender, with so much naturally sweet banana flavor and bursts of chocolate in every bite, thanks to the addition of chocolate chips.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, and line a 12-count muffin pan with tulip cupcake liners.
Mix the eggs, olive oil, vanilla, mashed bananas, and sour cream in a stand mixer on medium speed for about a minute.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, both sugars, and cinnamon and mix until just combined. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
Use a large cookie scoop to fill each muffin well to the top. At this time, top your muffins with more chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
Bake the muffins for 10 minutes at 425 degrees. Then, reduce the temperature to 340 and bake for an additional 4 to 7 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
Storage

Wrap individual muffins in plastic wrap and freeze them for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag.
Bring to room temperature before serving.
Tips
Use super ripe bananas for the sweetest, most intense banana flavor.
Mix your batter until the ingredients are just combined, meaning everything is moistened, but the batter may still have lumps. This ensures the best texture.
For the best crown, let your batter rest for about 10 minutes before baking.
We find that tulip liners are best because they make it so easy to remove the muffins.
Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh to ensure your muffins rise correctly.
Bring your cold ingredients to room temperature for easy mixing and the best texture.
