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.

Chocolate muffin with bite out held

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 Soooooo good! Will be printing this recipe and be the only one I use! I will add less chocolate chips though, but that is my preference. I just felt it was a lot. I also used coconut sugar instead of brown sugar. And it was still very rich and delicious! Great recipe!

      Thanks so much! Another reader has had success turning this into a cake! Are you looking to make this into a 9×13 or a stacked round cake? I’m not sure if you’d need to double the recipe or not. I would bake at 350 and start with 30 minutes!

    5 stars As a person who generally is too lazy to review anything… can I just say… these are divine! I made them gluten free, as I am celiac, with a smidge less sugar (as someone else had recommended) – they are the most decadent thing ever! Thank you so much. I would give this recipe a million stars if I could! Also – all in one bowl… just brilliant.

    5 stars Jennifer, this recipe was amazingly soft and moist. I skipped egg and added 1/4 C plain yogurt whipped & at room temperature. Last step, added 1 tsp of distilled vinegar and mixed well. ( dry ing added 1/2 tsp of instant coffee as well) outcome is really good despite of making it eggless.. didn’t alter the taste n all those who ate it asked for recipe. Cinnamon also can’t be tasted.. yet lends a overall good taste. Thankyou for sharing this recipe. XoXo

    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.

    5 stars These are delicious! One side note for other European bakers: the metric measurments are not right. 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?) :))

I was wondering if it would be possible to make a cake out of the recipe ? My daughters birthday is coming up and she LOVES them too, and I would love to make a cake out of the batter if possible but I’m not sure how to proceed with the cooking of it… thank you in advance and thank you for this great recipe

    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!

    5 stars I have made this recipe at least 10 times already, it’s that good! No substitutions necessary, except I use half the recommended amount of sugar. I make it with Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa and Kirkland’s chocolate chips. For each muffin, I first put half the batter in the tin, then push 8-10 chocolate chips in the middle, then cover it with the rest of the batter. It makes for a lava cake effect. I especially appreciate it that you include the timers with this recipe.

    4 stars Good recipe but I’m not sure the metrics on the bananas are right. It calls for 3 large bananas or 150g, but 2 small bananas weigh ~190g for me. So if you’re measuring by weight i’d definitely use something closer to 250g of mashed banana.

      Thanks for the heads up, Jeff! Sometimes the metric calculation gets skewed. I’m looking into it, I’m going to mash, measure, and also weigh some bananas to get a more accurate calculation. Hope you loved the muffins 🙂

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      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!

I plan to bake two batches of muffins with 12 muffins per batch. 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!

      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. 😁

    5 stars It was soft, moist and fluffy! The banana and chocolate went well together. I cut the portion down to a third and it still worked!

      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 Love love love your recipe! Thank you Jennifer! I used 2 eggs though instead of 1 and I added walnuts as well to have that crunch. It’s sooo good! I wish I can show you a photo of my muffins.

    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 🙂

    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!!
