How to make these Dark Chocolate Banana Muffins?

Recipe is simple and easy to make, but I want to share some tips that should not overlook:

  • Bananas that you are going to use must be brown, very ripe, and easy to mush. Obviously, don’t wait for the bananas to turn completely brown, but avoid using very solid one.
  • Sift the dry ingredients separately, it will make a difference in texture.
  • Do not forget to add some salt, this ingredient can make a difference! Why? Because sweet tastes could be felt better when in contrast to some salty ones.
  • Do not add more than 2/3 of cupcake liners, the dough will grow while baking. It is especially important if you would like to decorate cupcakes after baking.
  • Watch the muffins closely, not to over-bake them, check after 15-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes should come out clean or just with some melted chocolate on, but not raw batter.

What chocolate should be used?

Chocolate is important part of this recipe. As you may know chocolate is made from two main ingredients: cocoa powder and cocoa butter. You can find a bigger amount of cocoa powder in dark chocolate and there is no in white chocolate.

Chocolate is better when more of cocoa powder is in it. So, before baking these cupcakes, search for chocolate that has at least 70 per cent of cocoa powder in it. This will be more expensive but your tummy will be more happy.

How long will the Chocolate Banana Muffins stay fresh?

Muffins can be stored wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for about 4-5 days.

If you still have some muffins left after, you can definitely use them to make some delicious cake-pops. Just crumble them into small pieces, add some mascarpone or whipped cream and form little pops. Cover them with white or dark chocolate and let freeze in the refrigerator.
