ShareThisIf you like the banana chocolate combo, here’s another muffin recipe for you. I made half a batch of these this afternoon and Fuzz’s friends gave them a thumbs up. You can make 6 (as written) or halve the recipe and make 3. If you want to make regular size muffins, use regular muffin tins and check at 18 minutes. Also, I think white whole wheat flour would work very well here.
Jumbo Chocolate Banana Muffins
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour (220 grams)
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
2 small (ish) bananas (3.5 to 4 oz each)
2 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 6 jumbo muffin cups with paper liners
Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. When thoroughly mixed, add the brown sugar and stir well, breaking up any lumps in the sugar.
In a second bowl, mash the bananas, Stir in the eggs, milk and vanilla. Pour the egg mixture into the dry mixture and stir a few strokes, then pour the melted butter in over the egg mixture. Stir until ingredients are well mixed, being careful not to over-beat. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Divide batter equally among muffin cups and bake for 23-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Makes 6
These sound better to me than the hairy dog muffins!
And I have 9, count them, NINE really ripe bananas sitting on the counter. Sometimes I stock up because I usually eat a banana a day and the boys go and eat them all. Then times like now, I buy a bunch (a couple bunches!) and they end up not eating any! What’s a girl to do? Muffins!!! I was just thinking of chocolate/banana muffins today–after I saw your last post. Man, I wish the kitchen was clean right now. Sigh.
I am not a huge fan of bananas…what other fruit do you think would work well?? They look delish though!
Cheryl, try pumpkin!
This is a meal!
Cheryl,
How about apples–honeycrisp if you can find ‘em.

Applesauce would probably work too.
Another thing I want to try is reverting back to the original recipe but swapping out 1 cup milk for 1 cup prepared chocolate pudding.
Ooh, pudding sounds good! And like a fun experiment!
I love choco & banana combo. I have no oven though.
Do you know how hard it is for a baker to have no oven?
