These muffins are just so addictive one is just not enough! So if you have over-ripe bananas sitting in your kitchen, use them to make these amazing muffins!
Muffin vs. Cupcake
Whether you’re making cupcakes or muffins, both are scrumptious. But what sets them apart? Well, to make cupcakes the batter is beaten much longer. By creaming the butter and sugar together to create a smooth, fluffy batter. This creates a uniformness of air bubbles throughout the cupcake. Muffin batter, on the other hand, is beaten briefly and remains relatively lumpy.
How to make Choco Banana Muffins
This recipe is simple enough that even beginners can make them. You start by preparing a cupcake baking tray (I used a 12 cup baking tray) by placing cupcake liners and preheating the oven at 180°C or 356°F. sifting the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl using a strainer:
– all-purpose flour
-sugar
-cocoa
-baking powder
-baking soda
-salt
Mix all of the dry ingredients using a wire whisk until well incorporated and set aside. In a different bowl, mush two large over-ripe bananas using a fork. Add an egg and stir until well combined. Pour vegetable oil and whisk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk to incorporate. Stir in some choco chips then pour the batter into the cupcake liners and place some choco chips on top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 180°C/356°F or until toothpick test comes out clean.
Tips for Choco Banana Muffins
- Do not over mix the batter to avoid making the muffing becoming hard.
- Over ripe bananas yield better results but you can also use just ripe bananas.

How much milk do u need to put in the recipe coz it didn’t say so
Hi Zaida,
I updated the recipe card, just add the vegetable oil to the mashed bananas and that’s it. Happy baking!
Hello! I completely agree…this recipe needs liquid. I have added some almond milk to it. Apart from that great taste! Lovely idea!
