Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

My toddler and I have been baking with bananas like crazy that last couple of months. It all started with us having a few ripe bananas in the house that I needed to use. However, we quickly worked our way through those and we weren’t off the banana kick yet! So we bought some more bananas and got a little creative in “speeding up” the banana ripening process (baking the bananas — more on that later) just to have more ripe bananas to work with.

My toddler may think I’m weird, but at least we had fun together 🙂

Ingredients

• 1 cup white whole wheat flour or plain white flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup miniature dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup vanilla or plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup brown sugar lightly packed
• 1 cup extremely ripe bananas (2-3 bananas)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Generously coat a muffin tin with cooking spray and then dust the cavities with cocoa powder. These muffins stick to muffin liners so I do not recommend using them.
3. Remove 1 tablespoon of the 1 cup of flour.
4. In a small bowl, toss together the remaining flour (after removing 1 tablespoon from the 1 cup), cornstarch, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and both types of chocolate chips. Stir.
5. Make sure your bananas are at their very ripest (black skins are best; see post to speed up the ripening process if not all the way ripe.) Remove the skins and mash the bananas extremely well.
