This easy peasy banana chocolate chip muffin recipe with oil is a weekly (sometimes more) happening for us. They go great in lunchboxes, or for morning tea at work.

Part of the reason we can make these so frequently is the recipe doesn’t require butter. We use rice bran oil but any vegetable oil will work.

Our recipe has no added sugar, other than the chocolate chips. In my opinion, the sweetness from the banana and chocolate chips is enough but you can add sugar if you want to.

Look no further for a chocolate chip banana muffins without butter recipe to add to your staple baking repertoire.

Notes

Easy banana chocolate chip muffins using oil not butter

If self-raising flour isn't available, you can use plain flour with baking powder. I use the ratio of 1 cup of plain flour to 1 teaspoon of baking powder so this recipe would be 2 cups of plain flour and 2 tsps of baking powder.

If the mixture is too dry after adding the oil mixture, add a few dashes of milk.
