Double Chocolate Banana Muffins
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 3 ripe bananas, mashed
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/3 cup vegetable oil
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until all the wet ingredients are well combined.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are okay.
5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the muffins.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, these Double Chocolate Banana Muffins are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
