Easy Double Chocolate Banana Muffins
These decadent double chocolate chip muffins combine melted chocolate, chocolate chips, and a touch a sea salt for the perfect bite!
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1 stick butter* see Note 1
- 1 cup chocolate chips, divided plus more for sprinkling* see Note 2
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup brown sugar* see Note 3
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- sea salt or coarse salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with cupcake liners.
- In a heat-safe bowl, place the butter and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Microwave for about 45 seconds until butter is melted and chocolate chips are nearly melted. Stir butter and melted chocolate together until well-combined.
- Place bananas in a large bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher.
- To the mashed bananas, add chocolate/butter mixture, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well with a wooden spoon until well-combined.
- Add dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking soda, and the remaining chocolate chips. Mix well until dry ingredients are completely incorporated.
- Spoon batter into muffin tin (or liners) until about 3/4 full.
- Top each muffin with 5-6 more chocolate chips.
- Bake 20-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean or muffins spring back when lightly touched.
- Sprinkle tops lightly with sea salt.
Notes
Note 1: 6 tablespoons of olive oil or vegetable oil can be substituted for the stick of butter-just don't expect quite the decadence!
Note 2: Any type of chocolate chips can be used. I typically use semi-sweet but whatever you have on hand works!
Note 3: White sugar is fine to substitute!
