the best chocolate banana muffins

My search for the perfect chocolate banana muffins ends here.

Through sheer tenacity and stubbornness, and the need to find THE BEST chocolate banana muffin recipe, I am glad to report that my efforts have finally paid off because this recipe makes perfectly soft muffins that are moist AND chocolaty.

In addition, it uses minimal ingredients and can be put together in one bowl.

Here are the step-by-step pictures on how to make these muffins. I apologize that there are so few steps. ๐Ÿ™‚

In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, oil and egg.

 
 
 
 

Add the flour + baking powder + baking soda + cocoa + sugar.

Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the mixture until the flour is just incorporated.

Add the mini chocolate chips and mix just to combine. Do not over-mix!

Spoon into the holes of a 12-hole muffin pan – you can choose to line the tray or if you do not want to line it, make sure you grease it before adding the batter.

Bake at 175ยฐC for 20-25 minutes.

Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.

I could not wait!!!
