These muffins are so moist and full of flavor! I have looked at dozens of recipes and most had too much sugar for my liking. There is absolutely no need for a lot of sugar to make these muffins delicious. Because they have bananas and chocolate chips, I just added 1/2 cup of sugar, which turned out perfect!

BANANA CHOCOLATE MEAL-IN-A-MUFFIN



Banana Chocolate Meal-in-a-Muffin image

I searched everywhere for a hearty breakfast muffin and had to invent my own in order to make it tasty and whole-wheat without loads of sugar or exotic ingredients. 100% whole-wheat. Almost no fat and very little sugar. But chocolatey and delicious. This is a very dense muffin that literally could replace a meal (if nuts are added).

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter, more flavorful muffin. You can tell if a banana is ripe by its color: look for bananas that are mostly yellow with a few brown spots.
  • Mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until they are smooth. This will help to evenly distribute the banana flavor throughout the muffins.
  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor. You can also use Dutch-process cocoa powder, but it will give the muffins a slightly darker color.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the batter to help balance out the sweetness of the bananas and chocolate.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature (400°F) for a short amount of time (10-12 minutes). This will help to create a crispy exterior and a moist, tender interior.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Cocoa banana mini muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist, flavorful, and have a crispy exterior. Plus, they are packed with nutrients like potassium and fiber. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or breakfast, give these cocoa banana mini muffins a try!
