Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix; stir until just combined.

Step 6

Lightly fold in the chopped Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, reserving a small amount for topping if desired.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle the reserved chopped Baker's chocolate on top of each muffin for an extra chocolatey finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
