Equipment

  • Muffin Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups banana, mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 8 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2.7 ounces Mexican dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Begin the recipe by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a muffin pan with liners or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ⅔ cup granulated sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  • In a separate medium-size bowl, stir together the 1 ½ cups mashed bananas, 1 large egg, 8 tablespoons melted butter and ¼ cup milk until combined. The mixture will be thick and lumpy.
  • Pour the banana mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture and stir until combined, but be careful not to over mix.
  • Lastly, use a knife to chop the 2.7 ounces of Mexican chocolate into smaller pieces. Stir into the muffin mixture until incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin pan, filling each well about ⅔ of the way. If you accidentally add too much, it is fine as they will not rise much.
  • Place the muffin pan into the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, they will be lightly golden in color and brown around the edges. Place the muffin pan on a cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes before removing the muffins from the pan to serve. Enjoy!
  • Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
