Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Paper liners
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Spoon or cookie scoop

Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe bananas
  • 150 g whole wheat flour
  • 50 g sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 60 ml coconut oil or another vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 50 g dark chocolate chopped or chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs, coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients and stir gently.
  • Fold in the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips.
  • Fill each muffin liner about three-quarters full with the batter.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter. Ripe bananas are key to sweetness and moisture—make sure they’re very ripe. Store the muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days, in the fridge for a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
