Enjoy the perfect combination of sweet bananas and rich chocolate in these moist chocolate chunk banana muffins. This simple recipe creates a delicious treat ideal for breakfast, snacks, or dessert!
In a medium bowl, mash bananas thoroughly and add in the wet ingredients.
340 g ripe bananas, 85 g unsalted butter, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 egg, 2 –4 tablespoon milk, 147 g brown sugar
Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix because over-mixing will impact the rise of the muffin. Add the milk last, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the batter looks like the picture in the "Instructions" section. This batter is thick (see instructions section for example)
Stir in the chopped chocolate and evenly divide the batter on a prepared 12-muffin baking sheet. I use a three-tablespoon cookie scoop to evenly distribute the batter. Each liner will be just over ¾ full.
170 g chopped baking chocolate or chocolate bar
Bake for 5 mins at 425°F and then switch to 350°F for another 15-16 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick in it and it comes out with just a few crumbs. Don’t open the oven when you change the temp!
Notes
To help them dome without touching, space the muffins out (two pans, or every other cup).
The batter is thick — add milk last, 1 tablespoon at a time, only as needed depending on banana ripeness.
