Chocolate Banana Muffins
Description
The recipe starts by combining mashed ripe bananas with honey, vanilla, egg, melted coconut oil, and Greek yogurt to create a moist batter. Dry ingredients including flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt are folded in carefully to avoid toughness. Chocolate chips are added both inside and on top to intensify the chocolate taste.
Baked at 350°F, the muffins develop a soft crumb and a chocolatey exterior with melting chocolate chips on top. The use of cocoa powder and chocolate chips creates depth in chocolate flavor that complements the natural banana sweetness. Greek yogurt contributes to a tender texture and slight tang.
These muffins work well as quick breakfasts, snack options, or lunchbox treats. Variations include swapping honey with cane sugar, and using gluten-free flour blends for dietary needs. Coconut oil can be replaced with other vegetable oils or butter without major texture changes.
Ingredients
- 3 banana mashed, medium ripe
- ½ cup Greek yogurt 2% fat
- 1 egg large
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a muffin tin with muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients together until well combined: ripe bananas, honey, vanilla, egg, oil and greek yogurt.
- Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients in the same bowl: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined, without over-mixing.Fold in half of the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tins, and top the muffins with the remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake for 23-27 minutes or until toothpick comes our clean.
Notes
- For gluten-free, use a balanced all-purpose gluten-free flour blend rather than only almond or coconut flour to maintain texture.
- Honey can be swapped with cane sugar if preferred.
- Coconut oil may be replaced with vegetable oil or butter without affecting the overall moistness significantly.
