Ingredients

3 cups pancake mix
1 ½ cups milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter cooled to room temperature
2 tablespoons maple syrup
½ cup mini chocolate chips plus extra for topping
2 ripe brown bananas

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Spray with nonstick spray.
Mash one banana in a small bowl and roughly chop the other banana into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, egg, melted butter, maple syrup, and mashed banana until just combined. Try not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped banana.
Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips or small banana pieces on top of each muffin if desired.
Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean without wet batter.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup if you like or room temperature.
