Take banana muffins to the next level with the addition of chocolate and banana chunks. The result is a recipe that enters decadent territory while enhancing the wholesomeness factor! And if you don't care for the texture of the banana chunks, just mash that third banana.

Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup wheat bran
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 generous tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg, large
- 1/2 cup milk, dairy or otherwise
- 1/4 cup canola or grapeseed oil
- 1/4 cup golden cane sugar, granulated
- 2 medium bananas, mashed
- 1 medium banana, cut into chunks
How To Make This Recipe
-
Combine all the dry ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
-
Put the egg, milk, oil and sugar into a larger mixing bowl and combine well. I like stirring with a whisk to get it all well incorporated. Then stir in the mashed bananas.
-
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir with a large spoon or spatula until just combined. At that point, stir in the banana chunks.
-
Evenly distribute the batter among the 12 prepared muffin cups.
-
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are nicely browned on top and risen, and a tester comes out clean. Cool in the baking pan on a rack for about five minutes, then remove the muffins to continue cooling.
