Chocolate Banana Muffins
These chocolate banana muffins are the perfect and tastiest way to use up your overripe bananas, especially if you love chocolate! We like them best warm out of the oven but they are good anytime!
Ingredients
- ½ cup oil
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup mashed overripe bananas (about 2 large or 3 medium bananas)
- ⅓ cup cocoa
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and line your muffin tins with cupcake liners or parchment baking cups.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Add the mashed bananas.
- In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Stir in ¾ cup chocolate chips. Do not overmix.
- Scoop the batter into a muffin tin lined with baking cups. Bake for approximately 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once removed from the oven, add the remaining chocolate chips to the top of each muffin. Gently press about 5-6 chocolate chips on the top of each muffin for extra appeal. You need to work fast.
