These double chocolate banana muffins are ridiculously easy to make . . . and even easier to eat. Full of ripe bananas, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate chunks! Socially acceptable for breakfast, but decadent enough for dessert. 😉

You guys.

I just love muffins.

I love them so much.

Even though I’m definitely more of a savory person than a sweet breakfast person, I do have a special place in my heart stomach for really good muffins.

While Trevor is more of a fruity muffin person, I am definitely a gimme all the chocolate muffins kinda girl.

If you’re with Trevor, be sure to check out this berry banana bread recipe (would probably make GREAT muffins), but today, this ones for my fellow chocoholics.

Say hello to double chocolate banana muffins, my friends.

Please tell me I’m not the only one that buys bananas specially for making breads and muffins.

I feel like normal people buy bananas for snacking, then maybe a few of them don’t get eaten before they get too ripe, so THEN they use the leftovers for breads and muffins.

But me?

Nope. I really dislike snacking on bananas.

So I buy them.

And wait.

Until they’re SO brown and gross, yet perfect for baking.

Please tell me I’m not the only one.

Regardless, here’s how you make double chocolate banana muffins:

  1. Whisk together melted butter, dark brown sugar, egg, and vanilla
  2. Whisk in mashed bananas <– make sure they’re super ultra ripe for maximum flavor
  3. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt
  4. Stir in dark chocolate chips or chunks
  5. Bake ’em up
  6. DEVOUR.

I really did devour these . . .

I have zero self control when it comes to fresh outta the oven, moist, banana-y, ultra chocolate-y, served with a little bitta buttah double chocolate banana muffins. YUM.

These muffins are quick and easy to make and are definitely a crowd pleaser making them perfect for easy weekend brunches! Because they’re muffins, they’re socially acceptable for breakfast, but because they’re double chocolate, they’re definitely good enough for dessert . . . warm . . . with ice cream.

    5 stars Made the muffins today and I can say I love them. They’re so moist and decadent. I don’t usually like banana bread too much, but the chocolate gives it a whole new taste that doesn’t bore my tastebuds. I made will be printing the recipe for future use. I might use milk chocolate chips next time if I want them sweeter!

    5 stars Thought i would give this a go after googling for a recipe to use 3 sad bananas i had that needing using. My girls normally won’t eat banana muffins or banana cake, these went down a hit. Girls loved the soft moist texture, crunch of the brown sugar and of course the double chocolate. I did use the air fryer which took far too long to cook them (45 mins) so i will just stick to the oven and make large batches – thank you for sharing this recipe.

    5 stars I made a few modifications to this recipe including: Substituting cocoa powder for 75g of an unsweetened baking chocolate bar, 4 bananas instead of 3, 1/2c of barley flour and 1/2c AP flour for 1c AP flour, and roughly 5 1/2 tbs butter. With these changes, the muffins still turned out beautifully and they are soooooo good. I love recipes that can handle modifications and still come out amazing, that’s how you know it’s good!!!

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      Thanks Dana! I think you could try 1/4 cup butter and 1/2 cup peanut butter and be ok! You could also swap some of the choclate chips for peanut butter chips. Let me know if you try it!

      Hi Brenda! So glad you enjoyed these 🙂 They make really good vegan butters now! If you can’t find that, you could use a neutral flavor oil , but they might not be as flavorful as when you use butter.

    5 stars Delicious!! I added 1 tbsp of peanut butter (or honey) to the mashed bananas and it turned out so moist! If you don’t want to take the time to make batches of muffins, I used a bread tin with all the batter and it cooked perfectly!

      Hi Rosemary! So glad you enjoyed. If you doubled the recipe, you should be using 2 teaspoons baking powder and 2 teaspoons baking soda, so that might be why yours didn’t rise.

    5 stars I have made this recipe dozens of times. I figured I should finally go ahead and give it the review it deserves. Always turn out FANTASTIC!!! They are great with or without the cinnamon though I usually do put it in. The recipe baked up great when followed exactly and is also very tolerant of add-ins or tweaks. I throw a handful of nuts or chia in sometimes and they are great too. The recipe is super easy and has minimal mess. I like to make a double batch because the first one goes in a day and the rest on day 2 and 3. I like to keep them in the fridge because of how moist they are so they don’t get sticky and then just heat them up for 15 seconds before eating. You can also freeze them. Best way to go through the over-ripe bananas in your freezer. PRO TIP: If you are using frozen bananas just let them thaw and snip the ends. They gloop out and require no additional mashing before adding to your mixing bowl.

    5 stars I was caught by the bitten into muffin with melting choc. in the center! now, the only tricky part: not in your recipe, but in my own kitchen. you see, I don’t actually have one. I live in a motel. but never let me see an obstacle in my way! that’s what god is for! so I made your stuff, grating rock hard brown sugar to use, mashing four gross, very ripe b’s, and then lubed up a square cake pan and poured the mix into that and stuck it into my elec.frying pan to make a single cake in honor of chocaholic friend coming for lunch. and prayed and waited till the confection was done on bottom. “baked” at around 225 degrees, it was actually half baked after about 30minutes.vvthen, because I have one, I used a very wide pancake turner to flip the cake over and give it another 15 min. to finish baking the top. voila! I even licked the bowl with the very coated spatula you told us to use yummy! thank you!

    Love them, and so did my 2 kiddos, so this is a winner! I only had light brown sugar and regular store bought cocoa powder, and still turned out great! I reduced the light brown sugar to 1/2 cup (110g), added 4 oz of vanilla yogurt as the batter seemed dry, and 1 tsp of instant coffee, reduce cinnamon to 1/4 tsp. Baked @ 425 for 5 mins and 350 for 11 mins in regular 12-cupcake tin, and made 14 muffins.

    5 stars Hi there, i have a question. When I make these, my muffins are really nice and moist but they don’t hold shape! they crumble / fall apart easy so can only be eaten on a plate, not a muffin liner by itself if that makes sense. could you also perhaps give me the oven times in celsius fan forced please? thank you so much
    Reply

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      Hi there! So glad you enjoy the muffins 🙂 Looks like you’re in Wales? From my understanding, products are very different in varying countries: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, etc. so even if you’re following the recipe exactly, the difference in products may produce a completely different result. You could try not using a muffin liner and seeing if that helps… maybe the muffins are sticking to the paper too much. As for “celsius fan forced”… you’ll have to google a conversation for that, because I don’t have any experience with that. Hope that helps and so glad you like the muffins! 🙂

    5 stars I have made this recipe many, many, many times. When my family goes on a road trip, I bake these to eat l in the car with sharp cheddar cheese…so we don’t have to stop for breakfast. They are very versatile, they can be breakfast, a mid-afternoon snack or dessert with a little whip cream. I have also made them with a splash of strong coffee (which makes them mocha, which is coffee & chocolate flavors) and some psyllium husk or chia seeds to give them more fiber. Sometimes, I sub out the butter for coconut oil, which gives it a tropical twist. This is one of the recipes I keep on hand for a yummy treat, the whole family loves!!!

About 15 seconds on each side (so you don’t end up with a hot top and frozen bottom) makes them perfect with slightly melted chocolate chips 😋

      Hmm the butter will re-harden in the fridge and may cause a weird texture. I’d maybe replace the butter with oil if you want to refrigerate the batter.

    5 stars I always come back to this recipe, it is brilliant! You cannot go wrong. So simple to follow and the kids can do it easily enough too. They taste amazing. They are very chocolatey which I love, one is all you need but you will want more! I only add a little bit of cinnamon and usually do 2 batches at once, the yield multiplier is very handy! Thank you for sharing!!

I ate 2 while still hot, Soooo Goood! Side note, I never can leave a recipe alone but this time I forced myself to not make any changes and I’m glad I didn’t, these came out great!

    4 stars Amazing.These were the fluffiest muffins ever. Not too sweet because of the cocoa and dark chocolate chunks but they melt just enough to be gooey. They rose really well too and it didn’t take long either like other muffin recipes. Definitely making again. I did use 3 small eggs instead of 1 large one that worked well too.

      5 stars Another great gluten-free tip for baking that came from Anna Olson is when adapting a regular recipe for gluten-free, substitute 1 cup of all purpose flour for 2/3 cup of gluten free flour (any kind such as AP or rice flour+xanthum gum if needed) plus 1/3 cup of starch (coconut flour). I tried this recipe gluten free and they turned out delicious and well structured.

    5 stars This recipe has been a hit with the entire neighborhood. Our friends and neighbors have labeled them “crack” muffins because they are so delicious and you always want more. I add pecans or macadamia nuts to the recipe and that’s all. Whenever we host dinners, it is always a requested item. One friend who moved now drives about 20 miles to pick them up if I tell them they are ready! This one is a real winner! We live in south Florida and grow bananas so we almost always have bananas that we need to use so I make them alot. These freeze well and the recipe is easy to double or triple. I do use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.

One recipe yields 300g of mashed banana (or three medium bananas) and 150g of chocolate chunks. However, mine turned out fine anyway (only not as moist) with only half the amount of banana and more chocolate chunks (never too many, right?) :))

    5 stars Good recipe! Very tasty. My kiddo enjoyed them. Had 5 bananas (I opened accidentally by grabbing the stems) and this was a good way to whip up something quickly with them. I threw in an extra egg to help hold it together because of the extra bananas. For my tastes would have used a little less sugar, but I’m sure the extra bananas also skewed it sweeter. I was able to stretch it to 2 dozen (not quite filling the liners) muffins with the extra bananas and egg. Lovely moist texture!

      Hi Annie! I’ve never tried and since the prep time is 10 minutes, I’d recommend making and baking as written! If you want to experiment, you can make the batter in a bowl, cover it with saran wrap, then store in the fridge. While the oven is preheating, I’d let the batter sit out at room temperature, then scoop and bake as directed. That would be my best guess!

    5 stars Wow, this is decadent and moist. The cinnamon adds some complexity to the flavor that blends in well. Our bananas were spotting and I ran out of dark brown sugar so it was 50% golden brown. Not too sweet and received the kids’ approval. Used half semi-sweet and half bitter sweet chocolate on the lower end of the quantity range and it seemed balanced in flavor; mostly because this recipe (doubled) cleared out my pantry! So really, the recipe is very forgiving and the results have a mouth watering look!

Do i need to preheat again the oven to 425 degrees F after I take out my first batch of muffins? or can I just continue with temperature of 350 degrees F until my 2nd batch of muffins? I would really appreciate your reply. Thank you!

      From what I’ve read, it’s not easy to replace oat bran for flour. I’d recommend googling “oat bran chocolate banana muffins”. 🙂 Hope that helps!

    5 stars Whoa. That’s literally all I want to say. But I’ll leave a more detailed review… haha. SO decadent. SO stinking easy. I usually make a mess in the kitchen and didn’t at all this time. PLUS the taste was amazing!!! I actually used pb chips, milk choc chips, and dark choc chips but I don’t think it makes a difference! All would be good!

      5 stars Hi I am really looking forward to making these because it looks so good😋! May I inquire what the measurements are in grams pls? I come from a place where we commonly use grams instead of cups. Appreciate the help, thank you!

      Hi Lorena! A loaf pan should be fine… I’ve never tried! Same temperature, but I’m not sure how long. Start with 20 minutes and add from there until an inserted toothpick comes out clean – you may need to cover with foil if the top is getting too dark.

    5 stars “These are a keeper!” As hubby ate his first 2 and I agree. I’ve made many banana, banana/chocolate muffins and all were good, but these are GREAT! I believe it’s the cinnamon, as none of the other recipes I’ve tried had it in the ingredients. I’ve made these twice now. Hubby informed me that I don’t need to share these with friends, neighbors, etc. anymore. 😁

      Absolutely! Oil actually adds more moisture than butter, so these will be great! They won’t have that buttery taste though. I’d suggest coconut oil or another neutral flavored oil like canola oil.

    5 stars Third time making these muffins. They are delicious! However, I tweaked it a little because I don’t like it too sweet, as well as prefer a richer chocolate taste. I cut the brown sugar down to 1/2 a cup, and used 60% dark chocolate chips. Aside from those changes, I followed the recipe as instructed, and muffin is perfect every time. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

      So glad you enjoyed, Sarah! I’ve never had a problem with them sticking… you could try a new non-stick pan, coat generously with cooking spray, and let them cool slightly (5-10 minutes) before removing!

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      I always recommend following a recipe as written, if possible! The chocolate chips add sweetness and a gooey, melty texture. You can try without if you want! They just won’t be as sweet and may be a bit drier.

    How much in metric is 6 tablespoons of butter, ie in grams? And is there a substitute for dark brown sugar? Really keen to give this recipe a try!! Looks amazingly yummy!!
    Reply

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      Hi Constance! I just googled it and google says 6 tablespoons is equal to 85 grams of butter. Hope that helps! You could use light brown sugar or granulated sugar if necessary.

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      Store them in an airtight container or sealed ziplock baggie for 3-4 days at room temperature. You could also seal them and put them in the freezer for up to a month. They reheat really well! I don’t like putting them in the fridge because they tend to dry out. Hope that helps! 🙂

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      The recipe calls for cocoa powder (which is unsweetened), not sure what the difference is between cocoa powder and natural cocoa powder!

    5 stars This recipe is amazing! It is so simple to follow and the end result does not taste like your typical banana muffin! I added chopped up rolos just because I had them left over and they came out awesome. My only suggestion if you’re going to add the rolos, is to make sure they are completely covered with batter. Thank you so much for this recipe, they were gone less than 12 hours after I made them! Everyone loved them!

    5 stars Had a couple of frozen banana’s I wanted to get out of my freezer so decided to try this recipe. My daughter wasn’t overly excited about this though as she told me she doesn’t like banana muffins. As they were baking she came out to say they smelt good. Then once they had cooled and she tried her first one she said they were delicious and went to grab another. This recipe got the thumbs up from my an anti-banana muffin daughter 🙂

    Hi there! If the batter was thicker than the video, then you probably over measured your dry ingredients!

    5 stars These were totally, absolutely, scrumptiously delicious—deep chocolate taste and very moist too- and EASY to make. I misread the recipe and baked them at 425° for the entire time. I checked them before the total 17 minutes of time was up (I do not remember exactly when). Some were done, some left a tiny streak of chocolate on the toothpick, so I took the pan out of the oven and left the muffins in the pan for a few minutes. They came out perfect!

    5 stars I made these gluten free and they turned out great! Just substituted a gluten free four blend mixed with a bit of coconut flour, ground/sifted oats, and a pinch of xanthan gum. We will be making these again – a good change up from our regular banana chocolate chip muffins.

    Ok. So, we buy and use lots of bananas – ice cream sundaes, crepes, pancakes, cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, etc. Some weeks you can’t keep enough of them and some weeks no one eats them. That’s when we have so many that we can’t use all at once so we freeze them. However, thawed bananas tend to produce a more watery mush. What do you recommend to compensate for this? Also, looking at your video, it looks like you used cupcake tins (2” bottom diam.) vs. muffin tins (2.5” bottom diam.). I barely got 12 muffins and they were barely 1/2 full. Looking forward to your recommendation so I can make these again. Thanks.

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      I don’t have any experience with freezing, thawing, and using bananas, but my best guess would be to maybe drain them in a colander for a bit? That way some of the extra moisture gets out. I honestly have no idea what size my muffin tin is, I assumed a standard muffin/cupcake tin was the same across the board!

    Can these muffins be baked at a single temp instead of two? What’s the purpose of initially baking at a high temp? Our ancient oven’s temp fluctuates during baking so keeping it at a single temp is hard already. I’d really like to try your recipe, though. TIA.
    Reply

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      Sure! The initial high temperature helps them get really tall mounds! Just bake at 350 for about 20-ish minutes 🙂

      5 stars My 14-year-old daughter and I tried this yesterday but we used choc chips instead of the chunks because those were what we had. The muffins were molto delizioso!! The only downside is they’re going too fast so it’s pointless to freeze half of them. Haha. I’ll get the choc chunks today when I go grocery-shopping. I have a lot more spotted nanas sitting on the counter begging to be saved. Thanks, Jennifer!

Sadly, I can’t eat them because they spike my blood glucose to dangerous levels. :/ Any chance you two consider making some healthier treats? I know you don’t aim to make health food here but your creations are so beautiful that I think you’d do a great job making low sugar food look great!!
