    Chocolate Banana Muffins

    Ok, drum rollllllll please!  Chocolate Banana Muffins are the 'hot-diggity bomb'...I'm sayin'.  These delicious muffins are loaded with chocolate and banana flavor with semi-sweet chocolate chips in every bite!  

    Really easy to make and not a lot of ingredients.  Who doesn't love that?  These are super moist and have such a rich chocolatey taste, and I'll just warn you now...it's hard to stop eating them once you take that first bite!  

    Chocolate Banana Muffins

    Ok...don't mind me, but I kept finding excuses to be in the kitchen and I just couldn't stay away from my new sweet best friends. Warm or room temperature, they are scrumptious.  Trust me, I know.

    My mom used to bake the old fashioned banana bread with walnuts when we were growing up, so banana bread has always been a family favorite, but adding chocolate just makes them super delish!

    These chocolate banana muffins were ideal for sharing at work the next day. Saved me from eating all of them. Just call me Miss Piggy! 

    Chocolate Banana Muffins

    Ingredients You Need

    Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe

    • ripe bananas
    • vegetable oil
    • eggs
    • brown sugar
    • all-purpose flour
    • unsweetened cocoa powder
    • baking soda
    • vanilla extract
    • semi-sweet chocolate chips

    How to Make Chocolate Banana Muffins

    1. Preheat oven to 400. Line muffin tin with papers or grease muffin pan.
    2. In large bowl, mash bananas to your liking. (I like it chunky!)
    3. Add oil, sugar, vanilla and eggs to bananas and mix well.
    4. In another bowl, whisk flour, soda and cocoa powder together and add wet mixture slowly beating gently.
    5. Fold in the chocolate chips. (Should be a thick batter.)
    6. Spoon batter into prepared cups or muffin tin.6) Bake in preheated oven from 15 – 20 minutes. (You can touch tops and see if done, or insert toothpick and if it comes out clean.)
    7. Cool slightly and transfer to wire rack.

    Substitutions

    I used ¼ cup vegetable oil & ¼ cup olive oil in my recipe – I try to use more olive oil in a lot of recipes because it’s so much better for you! But you can use any oil you have on hand.

    Chocolate Banana Muffins

    It's awesome with hot chocolate...if so, did you ever dunk the banana bread in the hot chocolate like a donut?  Yep...that would be me! Here's the recipe for Chocolate Banana Muffins! Also, perfect if you have company coming into town and you want to impress them with your cool baking skills.

      I have made these many times with the kiddos and they are always loved.
      I have even substituted unsweetened applesauce for the oil and do 3/4 c wheat flour + 3/4 c all purpose (for the 1 1/2 c total) and they still turn out great. Also, we love using dark chocolate chips. Happy we found this recipe-thank you!
