We recommend combining them for your next challenge. Once you combine those flavors, you\u2019ll have a soft and moist muffin that stands out as an afternoon snack or quick breakfast option.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also see these referred to as double chocolate banana muffins since melted chocolate chips blend with the cocoa base. They\u2019re egg-free muffins too. The ripe banana gives the muffin mix the density it needs. Whatever you call them, you\u2019ll be making them again. They\u2019re too good to try just once.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Chocolate Banana Muffins<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Flour<\/b>: Use all-purpose flour to make the muffin mix. The cocoa powder will add volume and substance too, so you don\u2019t need too much.<\/li>\n<li><b>Sugar<\/b>: Choose brown sugar for its caramel notes and moist texture. It\u2019s essential to balance the bitterness in the cocoa.<\/li>\n<li><b>Baking cocoa<\/b>: You\u2019ll get the chocolate muffin color and deep, rich flavor from unsweetened cocoa, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-cocoa-powder\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-cocoa-powder\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Dutch-process cocoa<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><b>Baking powder<\/b>: This will allow the muffins to rise in the relatively short baking time.<\/li>\n<li><b>Baking soda<\/b>: You also need baking soda (it\u2019s not a substitute for powder) to keep the muffins moist and balance the acidity in the yogurt.<\/li>\n<li><b>Bananas<\/b>: You must use ripe brown or spotted bananas for this recipe to get the sticky texture and assertive sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><b>Yogurt<\/b>: Plain yogurt won\u2019t make the muffins sour, it will help bind the mix in the absence of milk.<\/li>\n<li><b>Oil<\/b>: Choose a neutral tasting oil like canola to emulsify the cocoa and create the batter.<\/li>\n<li><b>Vanilla extract<\/b>: The tropical scent of vanilla pairs so well with ripe banana and chocolate. You can also add cinnamon powder.<\/li>\n<li><b>Chocolate chips<\/b>: These can be semisweet or milk chocolate and will give a pleasant pop of melted chocolate in each bite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Mash and mix the muffin batter<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2031360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Chocolate-Banana-Muffins_TOHD24_206331_SheriSilver_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Batter for Taste Recipes Chocolate Banana Muffins in a glass bowl on a marble surface\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sheri Silver for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F and whisk the first five (dry) ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas and mix with the yogurt, oil and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry flour mixture, stirring until it\u2019s sticky and moist.

Allow to cool on a wire rack for five minutes and dust with baking cocoa while they\u2019re still warm to serve.<\/p>\n<p><i>Editor\u2019s Tip<\/i>: To get muffins that rise majestically from their cup, start them at a fierce heat (up to 425\u00b0) for the first five minutes, then reduce to 350\u00b0 for the remainder. You\u2019ll get a fuller, fluffier muffin than you would with a consistent, lower temperature.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2029770\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TOHD24_206331_SheriSilver_4-Chocolate-Banana-Muffins.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chocolate Banana Muffins \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sheri Silver for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Bulk your muffin<\/b>: Switch to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-flour-and-when-to-use-them\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-flour-and-when-to-use-them\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">whole wheat flour<\/a> and you\u2019ll have a heavier, heartier and healthier muffin that\u2019s significantly more substantial.<\/li>\n<li><b>Add a swirl<\/b>: There\u2019s room for yet another satisfying flavor in these chocolate banana muffins. You can add a dollop of peanut butter (thinner is better) to your muffin batter before baking. Besides the extra taste, it gives them some extra visual appeal.<\/li>\n<li><b>Drop in some nuts<\/b>: You can include chopped nuts, like walnuts and pecans, either as a substitute for the chocolate chip or as a worthy complement. They provide a texture boost too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chocolate Banana Muffins<\/h2>\n<p>Let the chocolate banana muffins cool and you can keep them for several days in the refrigerator, in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-food-storage-containers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-food-storage-containers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">airtight container<\/a> to prevent them from drying out.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze chocolate banana muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing stopping you from freezing your leftover muffins either. Once cooled, wrap each one in aluminum foil and store in an airtight container. They\u2019ll be good for up to three months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the oven for a few minutes to melt the chocolate chips again.<\/p>\n<h2>Chocolate Banana Muffins Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2029774\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TOHD24_206331_SheriSilver_2-Chocolate-Banana-Muffins.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chocolate Banana Muffins\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sheri Silver for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What if my bananas aren\u2019t fully ripe?<\/h3>\n<p>Bananas are great for ripening other fruit faster (just put them together in a paper bag). But if your bananas are still too firm and yellow, bake them still in their skins in an oven on a medium heat for 10 mins to soften them.<\/p>\n<h3>Why are my muffins flat instead of fluffy?<\/h3>\n<p>A muffin that doesn\u2019t rise as hoped is usually missing air, which should have come from the leavening agents. If you overwork your batter, the tiny bubbles produced as the baking soda and powder get to work are broken down too early. The solution? Mix your batter just enough to combine the flour.<\/p>\n<h3>What goes best with a chocolate banana muffin?<\/h3>\n<p>Keep championing the chocolate flavors by serving these muffins with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mexican-hot-chocolate\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mexican-hot-chocolate\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">mug of hot chocolate<\/a> as an afternoon treat.
