I am sure that both Yanny and Laurel will love these Double Chocolate Banana Muffins.
Chocolate and banana are a delicious combination. Both flavors shine brightly in these dense, chocolate chip studded muffins. The streusel topping, though, is really what sets them apart. Buttery and crisp…just divine over the moist cake.
These make 12 very generous sized muffins. I loved their supersize, but if you want the muffins to be a bit smaller shoot for a quantity of about 14.
Double Chocolate Banana Muffins
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/3 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
1/3 cup canola oil
1 large egg
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (I used regular size)
Streusel Topping (recipe follows)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Whisk together the first six ingredients.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk bananas, oil and egg until blended. Add to flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full of batter. Sprinkle each with some of the streusel.
5. Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm or cool.
