About This Recipe
Hey friends! It’s Sadia here — and I’ve got a treat that hits that sweet spot between comforting and crave-worthy: my Chocolate Banana Muffins Recipe. Honestly, this is one of those recipes I reach for when I have a couple of overripe bananas staring at me and the weather’s just right for warm, melty goodness. I remember making these for Sultan on a rainy afternoon — he took one bite and said, “You’re definitely making these again.” That’s all the encouragement I needed.
Tools for Chocolate Banana Muffins
To make this moist and chocolatey Chocolate Banana Muffins Recipe, you’ll need a muffin tin, mixing bowls, and a whisk or spatula for smooth mixing. I’ve linked a few favorite tools—easy to use and super reliable. A scoop or large spoon helps divide the batter evenly for perfect muffins every time!
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
3 ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
? cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
¼ cup plain yogurt or sour cream
2 large eggs (room temp)
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or lightly grease.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mash the bananas well. Add sugar, brown sugar, oil, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring gently with a spatula. Don’t overmix! Fold in chocolate chips.
Step 5
Divide batter evenly between muffin cups (about ¾ full). Top each with extra chocolate chips if desired.
Step 6
Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Step 7
Best warm or room temp. Perfect with coffee, milk, or as an on-the-go snack!

Secret Tips
Use overripe bananas: Black-spotted bananas = sweet flavor + soft texture
Don’t overmix the batter: Stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay
Before baking, give the batter five minutes to rest.. It helps the muffins rise higher.
Top with extra chocolate chips before baking for those irresistible muffin tops
