Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Add Kodiak Cakes Mix to a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash banana in a separate mixing bowl or shallow bowl.

Step 3

Combine mashed banana with milk, egg, maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Add liquid ingredients to Kodiak Cakes Mix and stir until just combined. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips. I like to save a couple of tablespoons to top the muffins before baking and make them look prettier. :)

Step 4

Use a large spoon to transfer batter to muffin pan and fill all 12 muffin cavities evenly; about 3/4 full. Sprinkle with extra mini chocolate chips.

Step 5

Bake at 350ºF. for about 22 minutes or until golden brown and inserted toothpick comes out slightly moist. Cool muffins for 5 minutes then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Muffins are best served warm and even better the next day.
