If you like the banana chocolate combo, here’s another muffin recipe for you. I made half a batch of these Chocolate Banana Muffins 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.

February 29, 2012 at 4:27 pmLovely, these taste quite good! I used gluten-free flour, canola oil (5 tbsp) and 1.25 cups yogurt in place of milk. Thank you for the recipe!

February 12, 2011 at 3:38 pmI just made these, and they are SO good. I could barely wait for them to get out of the oven before trying one. I made them are standard size muffins and got 18 of them. They are great!!!!

December 30, 2009 at 4:27 pmI love choco & banana combo. I have no oven though. 🙁 Do you know how hard it is for a baker to have no oven?

December 30, 2009 at 8:48 amApplesauce 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.

December 29, 2009 at 9:07 pmI am not a huge fan of bananas…what other fruit do you think would work well?? They look delish though!

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.
