Servings: persons

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup cake flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large eggs
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (I used fat free)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
1/2 cup mashed banana
3/4 cup bittersweet/semi-sweet (your choice) chocolate chips...plus 30 more for topping the muffins
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt

1
Preheat oven to 350.
2
Put liners in the muffin tin...you don't have to, but I think it makes them more of a portable, on-the-go snack.
3
Mix the wheat flour, cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt in a bowl and set aside.
4
In another bowl, mix the sugar, brown sugar, egg, greek yogurt, vanilla, vegetable oil, fresh-brewed espresso and mashed banana in another bowl. Beat these guys together pretty good.
5
Introduce the sugar-egg mixture into the flour bowl. Let them get to know each other in as few strokes as possible. When it's not quite mixed together, dump your chocolate chips in there and gently fold them into the batter.
6
If you're making mini muffins you'll put about 1-2 tablespoons per muffin. Don't overfill because they will overflow and no longer be pretty. I usually do 1 tablespoon in all of them and then divvy out the extra.
7
Place one chocolate chip on top of each muffin and sprinkle all with the coarse sea salt.
8
If you're making the mini muffins, mine were done in a mere 12 minutes. Reason 9,678 why you should make mini muffins. That's amazing. These were whipped up, cooked and in my mouth in under an hour. It's amazing how fast chocolate can make a person move.
9
Let cool for about 5 minutes in the pan and then cool on a cooling rack. Store these babies in an air-tight container.

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

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.
