Tips:

  • If you don't have espresso powder, you can use instant coffee powder instead. Just use half the amount.
  • Be sure to mash the bananas well before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. The muffins will rise as they bake.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These chocolate espresso banana muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're perfect for chocolate and coffee lovers alike. With their moist texture, rich chocolate flavor, and hint of espresso, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
