I was looking for something quick and easy to prepare for dessert yesterday and came along this Double chocolate Banana Muffins. But I did a Kanya remix to the recipe and it turned out pretty tasty here is the remix version. (less sugar and more flavor). Its a good way to use up over ripe bananas (I was getting tired of banana bread).
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (canola oil)
- 1 egg
- 4 tbs yogurt (any flavor)
- Milk to moisten (i used about 1/2 a cup)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In a small bowl, combine bananas, oil, yogurt and egg; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Add milk till you get a more moistened mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Yield: about 1 dozen.
- To change the muffin into a dessert style just cut the muffins in half and add vanilla ice-cream.
- Every time my bananas are ripe I just freeze them with the peels off and use them up for recipes like this.
- Apparently these can be frozen and reheat nicely. I haven't tried it yet. But think it would be really good for those days when you have random guests over and also for quick bite when heading out the door.
