Chocolate Banana Muffins
Description
This recipe starts by mashing ripe bananas to obtain one cup, then mixing them with plain yogurt, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt are stirred together separately before folding into the wet mixture without overmixing to keep the batter tender. Chocolate chips are folded in last for added richness. The batter is divided evenly into a lined muffin tin and baked at 350ºF for about 35 minutes until set. The resulting muffins offer a soft texture with a subtle banana flavor woven through the cocoa base, highlighted by sweet bursts from the chocolate chips. These muffins can be served warm or at room temperature as a comforting treat throughout the day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup banana $0.42, mashed, about 2-3 bananas
- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt $0.67
- 2 large egg $0.46
- 1/2 cup sugar $0.40
- 4 Tbsp butter $0.52, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract $0.30
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour $0.23
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder $0.21, unsweetened
- 1 tsp baking powder $0.02
- 1/2 tsp baking soda $0.02
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.01
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips $0.70
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Mash the bananas well. You'll need one cup mashed bananas. If you have slightly less than one cup, you can use slightly more yogurt to make up for the banana. If you have slightly more than one cup, you can reduce the yogurt slightly to compensate for the extra banana.
- Add the mashed banana to a large mixing bowl along with the yogurt, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk the ingredients together well.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir just until they are combined. It's okay if the mixture is a little lumpy. Do not over stir. Finally, fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Divide the batter between the 12 wells of the muffin tin (it will fill each well up to the top). Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes.
- After baking, remove the muffins from the tin and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
