Banana buttermilk muffins are soft, moist and fluffy muffins made with sweet bananas and tangy buttermilk. They're quick, easy to make and make the perfect breakfast treat.
Preheat the oven to 425 F (218 C). Preheat the oven for at least 20 minutes prior to baking the banana muffins. Line (2) 12 ct. muffin pans with cupcake liners.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet, alternating with the buttermilk in this order: dry, buttermilk, dry, buttermilk, dry, until just combined. Do not overmix. If you would like to add chocolate chips, do so now.
Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared pan. Bake the muffins at 425 F (218 C) for 8 minutes. Without opening the oven door, reduce the oven temperature to 350 F (177 C). Bake the muffins for an additional 8 - 10 minutes (16 - 18 minutes total).
