Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
2 very ripe bananas
1 cup white sugar
1 cup chopped dark chocolate (you’ll need to buy 2 bars of dark chocolate)
4 tablespoons butter, melted
4 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Supplies: bakery style muffin liners, these gave me much taller muffins than standard liners or baking unlined in the tray!
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your muffin tin by adding the liners.
2. In a large bowl combine these dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking salt, baking powder.
3. In another large bowl, mash the bananas. You want it smooth but having some little banana chunks is OK! Next, mix in both brown and white sugars, vegetable oil, melted butter, vanilla, and the eggs.
4. Add the wet ingredients into the dry, then pour in the 1 cup of dark chocolate chunks. Stir until everything is combined.
5. Add the batter to the muffin liners, I filled my just about to the top. If you have any extra chocolate chunks you can garnish any muffins that need a little extra chocolate pieces.
6. Bake for 23- 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
