    Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

    April 19, 2020 by Megan Calipari Leave a Comment

    The other day, my husband Mike and I went to the grocery store to stock up for a couple of weeks so we can limit our time out and about. While we waited in line to pay, I realized I forgot to snag some bananas. So, I asked Mike if he'd grab 5 or so bananas. HE CAME BACK WITH A DOZEN BANANAS. So, I've been using them up by doing what I do best: baking. Recently I've made Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread and some Easy Banana Bread Pancakes are coming soon. Today, we're getting chocolatey. I present: Double Chocolate Banana Muffins.

    Muffins are a weird baked good. They are meant to be a breakfast item, but don't typically have many breakfast-y ingredients in them. They are usually loaded with sugar and lean more toward dessert. But, I think they're somewhere in between. I usually eat one (or two) as a mid-day snack, but you do you!

    Baked Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

    These muffins are moist, mostly sweetened with banana and have a healthy dose of cocoa powder and are studded with chocolate chips. They are so soft, delicious and best of all- easy to make. Other than bananas, they require really basic pantry ingredients!

    Since these muffins are chocolate AND have chocolate chips in them, it can be hard to tell when they're done. If you stick a toothpick into a muffin, it will likely go straight through a chocolate chip. Plus, its hard to see browning on a chocolate muffin. The best way to tell is to press the center of a muffin. If it springs back, then its done.

    So make these delicious and easy Double Chocolate Banana Muffins as breakfast, snack or dessert. They are delicious no matter the time of day!
