Chocolate Banana Muffins

Print Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup butter melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar plus a little more for sprinkling
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder I used 1/8 cup regular and 1/8 cup dark
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in the egg, butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar, the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. It's okay if there are lumps (the batter will be thick).
  4. Line 2 mini muffin pans with cupcake papers or grease with cooking spray. Distribute the batter evenly in the pans (you can pretty much fill each space up with batter). Sprinkle each muffin with a little sugar (this will make a pretty sparkle and yummy crunch on top).
  5. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the muffins comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool and then transfer to an airtight container. Makes 24 mini muffins.
