Ingredients needed to make this recipe

Inside these muffins, we find the basic ingredients for this type of recipe, namely: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, vanilla, egg, butter, brown sugar, liquid cream. I give you the details of the quantities in my recipe at the bottom of the page.

To make these chocolate banana muffins, you will of course need bananas: take them ripe (all speckled is perfect). The riper they are, the more fragrant muffins they will give you!

On the chocolate side, I opted for large chocolate chips : you can easily find them in the bakery section of supermarkets. They are bigger than classic nuggets, I find the result even better for muffins. If you can't find any, don't panic, classic nuggets work very well!

How to make chocolate banana muffins?

So we start by preparing the muffin batter by mixing the dry ingredients on one side. We mash the ripe bananas with a fork then add the other ingredients of the recipe.

All that remains is to add the dry ingredients to the dough. At this stage, it is important to do not over mix the dough muffin to ensure proper baking and rising in the oven.

Lastly, add the chocolate chips with a spatula, keeping a few to decorate the top of the banana chocolate muffins before putting them in the oven!

How to make your bananas ripen faster?

An easy trick to implement to ripen your bananas faster (and use them in your recipes). Just put them in a oven preheated to 150° traditional heat. If you let them heat up like this for 30 minutes, whole with their skin on, this will soften them. They will then be ready to use.

How to properly store your muffins?

Once made, I prefer to keep these chocolate banana muffins at room temperature (about 3 days) in an airtight container so that they retain all their flavor. To keep them longer (about 5 days), you can put them in the refrigerator, but they will become a little less soft.

Deliciously flavored chocolate banana muffins with nuggets for more indulgence...
Amount : 12 Muffins

Prepare in advance 15 minutes
Cook time 20 minutes
Total 37 minutes

Ingredients 
  • 250 g all-purpose flour T55
  • 1 cc shaves baking soda
  • 1 cc shaves baking powder
  • 0,5 cc salt
  • 1 cc natural vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 120 g soft butter, melted
  • 110 g light brown sugar
  • 50 g heavy whipping cream 30%
  • 3 medium ripe bananas
  • 130 g dark chocolate chips quantity to dose according to your preferences
Prepare in advance 
  • Preheat the oven to 210° traditional heat. Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper cases.
  • In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside for later.
  • In another container, mash the bananas with a fork (if they are very ripe it is easier).
  • Add the eggs, the warm melted butter, the vanilla and the cream. Mix everything to obtain a homogeneous consistency.
  • Then, incorporate the dry ingredients: mix just enough so that you no longer see any flour and stop. Do not over mix allows the muffins to rise better.
  • Keep a few nuggets aside for decoration then add the rest of the nuggets to the dough, incorporating them with a spatula. Do not overmix.
  • With an ice cream or soup spoon, fill the muffin batter cases almost to the top (see my photo). Place the remaining nuggets on top of each case.
  • Bake for around 18-20 minutes - this depends on your oven. The muffins should be lightly browned. To find out if it is cooked, test for doneness using a wooden pick: it should come out dry or with a few crumbs. Then let the muffins cool on a rack.
Notes
These muffins will keep for about 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container.
They can be kept for 5 days in the refrigerator, but they will lose some of their softness.

    Hello Lilie
    Can you freeze these muffins so you always have some on hand?
    Thank you
    Have a good day


    1. Lilie bakery

      Hello Sandrine, yes absolutely they can be frozen (up to 2 months in the freezer). You can place them in individual bags to prevent them from sticking together. To reheat them, simply let them defrost at room temperature or for a few seconds in the microwave. See you soon :)

  19. There were 2 dying bananas in the basket, and when I was peeling them to give them to the chickens, I realized that they were only very ripe and not damaged at all. Come on, Google, I come across this recipe, it's in the oven, it's puffy, it smells good!

    Perfect recipe, this will be my new muffin recipe. Already tested 2 times to use bananas from the garden, when you have a diet a lot of bananas at once to use and it's a change from banana bread. First test with chocolate chips and second mix of frozen red fruits, excellent


    1. Lilie bakery

      Thank you very much Solenn! You are lucky to have some in your garden :) It's a change from Banana bread indeed! See you soon :)

    According to my husband and daughter, they are excellent! Since I only had two bananas, I replaced the missing one with applesauce. Hence my question: can we replace the three bananas with applesauce? (I don't like bananas...)


    1. Lilie bakery

      Hello Elise, I've never tried removing whole fruit with compote, but it's up to you to try it... See you soon :)
