These small batch Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins are super moist, with double chocolate flavor and so easy to make. All you need is one bowl and one banana!
Double chocolate muffins are the perfect way to use up that one lonely ripe banana and satisfy your sweet tooth.
Recently I made this banana bread with chocolate chips that used up that last batch of ripe bananas I had. But alas, one more snuck up on me!
What I really loved about this recipe, is that I had all the ingredients... because I mean, who doesn't always have a bag of chocolate chips on hand 🙂
With these simple ingredients and about 35 minutes, you can be enjoying this warm muffin with all that gooey chocolate!
Ingredients
- banana
- sugar
- coconut oil
- egg
- vanilla extract
- flour
- cocoa powder
- baking soda

Instructions
Step 1 - mash banana with a fork until there are very small lumps
Step 2 - add sugar, vanilla extract, coconut oil and egg to mashed banana
Step 3 - whisk the ingredients until smooth
Step 4 - begin adding in the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder

Raise your hand if are digging these muffins and are a chocoholic!
Tips and Variations
- One of the best tips I can give you is make sure your banana is really ripe. The darker the skin, the tastier it will be.
- I used coconut oil but vegetable or canola would work well too
- Chocolate chunks could be substituted for the chips
- Be careful to not over-bake the muffins. When they spring back slightly, they are done
Storage
What I love about these muffins is that they freeze really well (if you don't eat them all in one sitting!) Just let cool completely and wrap each muffin in a plastic wrap and store in a larger baggie.
To defrost, leave on counter for about 45 minutes or reheat in a microwave at the defrost setting in 15 second intervals.
These also would be fine on your counter for up to 3 days in an air-tight container.
