One of my favourite muffins, sweeter than most breakfast muffins but still a long way from being cupcakes in disguise which too many muffins are. NOTE: I have adjusted the quantity of flour thantks to my reviewers.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups mashed ripe bananas
2 large eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cocoa, sifted
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Butter or put paper cups in muffin pan.
  • Mash bananas.
  • Whisk in eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil and vanilla.
  • Mix the dry ingredients.
  • Be sure to sift the cocoa.
  • Mix wet and dry ingredients until just blended.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin cups.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until done.
  • If you like, lay a slice of banana over each muffin before baking.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. If you don't have ripe bananas on hand, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear for a few hours.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin pan with a non-stick coating: This will help the muffins to release easily from the pan.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Be careful not to overbake the muffins, as this can make them dry.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will help the muffins to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These banana cacao muffins are a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack. They are easy to make and packed with flavor. The combination of banana and cacao makes these muffins moist, rich, and chocolatey. Plus, they are a great way to use up ripe bananas. So next time you have a bunch of ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
