Recipe of the Month – Deadwood Canyon Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

May 29, 2026 by Aude Hofleitner Leave a Comment

Nothing specific about Deadwood in these muffins but these are the muffins that Tracy brought to the Canyons 100M Aid Station for all of us to enjoy, and it was A HIT!! So I asked her for the recipe!!

You can make them as Banana Blueberry Muffins by subbing the chocolate chips for blueberries! Just match your mood (and the season!)

Ingredients (High altitude adjusted)

Makes 15-18 muffins

  • ½ c butter
  • ¾ c +2 Tbsp sugar (1 c @sea level)
  • 2 eggs (sea level) +2 Tbsp milk/water (for altitude)
  • ¼ c sour cream or yogurt
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 ½ c flour (2 ¼ c @ sea level)
  • ¾ tsp baking soda (1 tsp@sea level)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 c chocolate chips

Recipe

  1. Mix sugar/butter til light. Add/mix remaining wet ingredients.
  2. Mix together dry ingredients. Barely mix wet/dry til combined. 
  3. Evenly fill lined muffin tins (best muffin liners ever). 
  4. Sprinkle with sugar if you want over-the-top muffins.
  5. Let sit 15 min in muffin tins before placing in oven (puffy muffins)
  6. Bake at 425F for 5 min.
  7. Turn oven down to 375F for 12 min more til tops are springy
