Equipment
- mixer
Servings: 14 muffins
Calories: 190kcal
Ingredients
- 2 medium bananas, mashed with a fork
- 1 ⅓ cup / 160 g all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup/ 80 ml oil, I prefer extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup/ 100 g brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 4.6 oz/ 130 g dark chocolate bar, chopped with a knife into small chunks
Instructions
- In a bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Whisk well to blend.
- Preheat the oven to 180℃ / 350℉. Line a large muffin tin with paper liners (if using silicone molds, you don’t need liners).
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for 1–2 minutes. Add the mashed bananas, oil, and vanilla extract, and beat on low speed until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture along with the cinnamon. Mix gently with a rubber spatula or the paddle attachment of a stand mixer, making sure there are no lumps left in the batter.
- Stir in the chopped chocolate. (Optionally, reserve a small portion to sprinkle on top of the baked muffins).
- Using an ice cream scoop, divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
- Bake until golden brown, 20–25 minutes. Test with a toothpick — it should come out with a few crumbs but no raw batter.
- If you reserved some chocolate pieces, sprinkle them on top of the warm muffins so they stick.
Notes
- Store the muffins for about 2-3 days at room temperature or freeze them for up to 2 months.
- For a healthier/ lower-carb version you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour by whole grain flour and use alternative granulated sweetener: coconut sugar or erythritol.
- You can also use chocolate chips, but chopped chocolate blends into the batter more evenly.
