The Best Chocolate Banana Muffins

Ingredients

1½ cups (about 2 large or 3 medium) bananas, mashed

⅓ cup (80ml) oil - I used canola oil

1 egg

1 cup (200g) sugar - I reduced this by 50%

1½ cups (187.5g) flour - I used 50% wholewheat flour and 50% plain flour

¼ cup (29.5g) cocoa - I used Valrhona

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon baking powder

1 cup (180g) mini chocolate chips

Sugar for sprinkling on tops - I omitted this

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, oil and egg.

Add the flour + baking powder + baking soda + cocoa + sugar.

Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the mixture until the flour is just incorporated.

Add the mini chocolate chips and mix just to combine. Do not over-mix!

Spoon into the holes of a 12-hole muffin pan - you can choose to line the tray or if you do not want to line it, make sure you grease it before adding the batter.

Bake at 175°C for 20 to 25 minutes.

Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely
