Chocolate Banana Muffins
Chocolate Banana Muffins are two delicious muffins in one. You'll love the sweet flavor and duo of colors in this easy muffin recipe. Rich chocolate and moist banana combined.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 banana mashed, medium
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup unsweetened baking cocoa
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla. Add mashed banana (I use a stand mixer and just add the whole bananas, letting the mixer mash them).
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Divide batter in half.
- To one half of the batter, mix in the baking cocoa.
- Prepare cupcake tin by greasing with baking spray. Drop 2 Tbsp of plain batter into each muffin. Then 2 Tbsp of chocolate batter into each muffin. Should make about 18 muffins.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 16-18 minutes. Remove and cool on wire rack. Store in air tight container for up to 4 days, or freeze in ziploc freezer bag for one month. ENJOY.
Notes
- Store muffins in airtight container at room temperature, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- You can make about 3 dozen mini muffins with this recipe. Check them much sooner as they take far less time to cook.
- For even more chocolate indulgence, feel free to add 1/2 cup of of chocolate chips to the chocolate banana batter, the plain batter or both! Chopped walnuts would make a tasty addition to the banana chocolate muffins too.
