  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In one bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mash the bananas and stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, oil, vanilla extract, and milk.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Add extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep muffins soft and fluffy.
  • For extra indulgence, add a few chocolate chunks on top before baking.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
