Ingredient Notes
Mashed Overripe Banana: You want the bananas to be super brown for this recipe. If you use just ripe bananas, the muffins may not be sweet enough.
Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder: Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder like Hershey's Special Dark or Dröste. Dutch-processed cocoa had been processed with alkali which changes the pH.
Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips: You can use mini chocolate chips or regular-sized dairy-free chocolate chips for these chocoalte banana muffins. My favorite brand is Enjoy Life.
Substitutions
Instead of canola oil, you can use any neutral oil, like grapeseed or avocado oil. But, don't use coconut oil!
Instead of dark chocolate chips, use white chocolate chips, or chopped nuts if you prefer.
Method
This Vegan Double Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins recipe comes together really quickly. Here's how:
First, combine the mashed banana, granulated sugar, canola oil, non-dairy milk and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Then, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk until everything is just combined.
Then, add the chocolate chips and switch to a spatula to fold them into the batter.
Now, scoop the batter into a prepared muffin pan, top with more chocolate chips and bake!
Expert Tips and Tricks
Once the dry ingredients are added to the mixture, whisk only until the batter comes together. It will look a little lumpy because of the mashed banana and that's okay!
Since these Vegan Double Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins have chocolate chips in them, it can my hard to test for doneness with a toothpick.
Instead, press the top of a muffin with a finger and if it springs back, the muffins are done!
