    If you’re a chocolate lover, you’ll definitely love these delicious chocolaty muffins. These taste like moist chocolate cake with a hint of banana. The inspiration for these muffins comes from this chocolate banana bread.

    Why I Love These Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

    • These muffins call for 3 overripe bananas and I always seem to have ripe bananas on my counter.
    • There is no melting chocolate involved! All you need is unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
    • Bakes in only 20 minutes!

    Ingredient Notes

    Ripe Bananas – Fresh bananas won’t work for this recipe! You need 3 large overripe bananas. Avoid banana extract.

    Light Brown Sugar – Make sure the brown sugar is soft and fresh. Avoid expired or hard brown sugar.

    Sour Cream – Use full-fat sour cream.

    How To Make

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
    2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas using a fork or whisk.
    3. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Mix well.
    4. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix until well combined but don’t overmix.
    5. Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
    6. Fill each cupcake liner 3/4’s of the way full and bake for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F, then keeping the muffins in the oven, bake for an additional 15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
    7. Allow the muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes and enjoy!

    Top Tips For The Perfect Muffins

    • Use room temperature eggs and slightly cooled melted butter.
    • Don’t overbake or overmix!
    • If you’re not a fan of semi-sweet chocolate chips feel free to use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips.

    How Do I Know When The Muffins Are Done?

    Insert a toothpick in the center of a muffin and if it comes out clean or with a few wet crumbs, it’s done!

    Storage

    Let the muffins cool completely and then place them in an air-tight container or a Ziploc bag and store them at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
