Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or fork
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Muffin tin
- Muffin liners (optional)
- cooling rack
- Oven mitts or kitchen gloves
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Wire whisk or electric mixer (optional)
- Toothpick or skewer (for testing doneness)
Ingredients
- 1 cup white wheat flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 medium bananas, mashed
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease the tin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips. Stir until well mixed.
- In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix. The batter may be slightly lumpy, which is okay.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy these delicious Chocolate Banana Muffins warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Make sure to use ripe bananas for the best flavor and moistness in the muffins.
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite mix-ins such as nuts, shredded coconut, or berries.
