Chocolate Banana Muffins

Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins
Calories: 307kcal

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (20 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ¾ cup (245 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar*
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup (75 g) margarine room temperature
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • ⅔ cup (130 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 medium, overripe bananas, well-mashed
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a regular-sized muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine, sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Mix in half of the flour mixture, then half of the bananas. Scrape bowl and mix in the remaining flour mixture, followed by the bananas. Fold in the chocolate chips, saving some for the tops if you like.
  • Spoon batter into the cupcake liners (liners will be pretty full) and press remaining chocolate chips into the tops. Bake muffins for 15-20 minutes, test with a wooden toothpick!

Notes

*In Austria/Europe: use 2 teaspoons Weinsteinbackpulver (cream of tartar baking powder) in place of the baking powder and cream of tartar.
