Chocolate Banana Muffin Recipe

Name: Chocolate Banana Muffin
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 cup unsalted butter; 2/3 cup whole milk; 2 large eggs; 2 large egg yolks; 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 3 cups all-purpose flour; 1 cup brown sugar; 2 tablespoons cocoa powder; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon salt; 3 large bananas

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. (190C).
2
Place rack in top third of oven.
3
Place muffin cups on the trail.
4
Melt butter in a small saucepan over moderately low heat, then remove from heat.
5
Whisk in milk, then whisk in whole egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined well.
6
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl, then add milk mixture and stir until just combined. Notice: NEVER over mix the ingredients, for muffins, the best way is to mix by hand with a fork :).
7
Cut banans into small cubes, and then fold them in and mix slightly.
8
Divide batter among the muffin cups, spreading evenly. I tend to fill the cups a bit full so that the muffins will get over the cup top after baking - just like what we get from the shops!
9
Bake about 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
10
Open the oven a bit to let the muffins settle before move out. Then cool in pans on a rack 15 minutes.
11
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
