Double Chocolate Banana Muffins
Description
These muffins mix mashed super-ripe bananas and cocoa powder into a batter that includes all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, and a combination of baking soda and baking powder for leavening. Greek yogurt and avocado oil help keep the texture moist and tender. Incorporating semi-sweet chocolate chips adds pockets of melted chocolate throughout once baked. Baked at 350°F until a toothpick comes out clean, the muffins develop a slightly dense but soft crumb.
The sweet banana flavor is complemented by the rich chocolate, making these muffins suitable for breakfast, snack, or dessert. They can be enjoyed warm right after baking or cooled.
Extra muffins can be frozen for later or stored wrapped at room temperature for a few days, ensuring convenience for batch baking.
