Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the flour, light brown sugar, oil, baking soda, baking powder, kosher salt, mashed bananas and 1 ½ cups of the mini chocolate chips. Stir lightly 15 to 20 times or until the ingredients are just moistened. There will still be a few small lumps.
Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups.
Sprinkle with the remaining mini chocolate chips and the sanding sugar.
Bake for 28 to 32 minutes. The muffins are done when the tops bounce back slightly when lightly touched or the internal temperature is 205 degrees F on a digital thermometer.
Remove from the oven and let cool 5 to 10 minutes before removing from the pan to a cooling rack.
Store in a covered container for up to 3 days.
Notes

About ½ cup along with the chocolate chips is delicious.Add spices ~ Stir in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Or add ¼ teaspoon of cloves or allspice.Make mini muffins ~ Poppable mini muffins are always a fave. Scoop the batter into a greased or lined mini muffin pan.
