Its always fun to bake something specially when kids are around. I made some double chocolate banana muffins today for my nephew and family. I was able to put some over-ripe bananas for some good use and everyone loved it. So, sharing the recipe hoping you all will try and enjoy as I enjoyed it with my family.

Yield – 12 muffins
Ingredients:
All purpose flour – 1 and 1/2 cups
Cocoa powder – 1/4 cup
Baking soda – 1 tsp
Baking powder – 1/4 tsp
Salt – a pinch
Granulated sugar – 1 cup
Chocolate chips – 1 cup
Ripe bananas – 1 cup (mashed)
Milk – 1/4 cup + 1/4 cup
White vinegar – 1 tsp
Vanilla essence – 1 tsp
Cooking oil – 1 /3 cup (I used sunflower oil)
Method:
1) Preheat the oven to 180 C for 15 minutes. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease it with cooking oil.
2) Mix together 1/4 cup milk and vinegar and set it aside for curdling.
3) In another large bowl sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add sugar and mix it well.
4) In another bowl combine together the mashed bananas, curdled milk, vanilla essence, oil and remaining 1/4 cup milk.
5) Add this wet mixture with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add chocolate chips and give a quick stir.
6) Pour the batter in muffin cups about 2/3rd cup of batter per muffin.
7) Bake at same temperature for 20 minutes. Check after 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick at the center of the muffin. If it comes out clean, then your muffin is done or else continue baking for 5 more minutes and keep a watch on it.
Once it has cooled down, remove from the muffin cup and enjoy with a cup of milk or your morning cup of tea/coffee.
I just had a banana nut muffin.. Thanks for giving us the recipe it looks easy..
They look delicious. Sounds easy to make. Thank you for sharing.
Is there gluten free foods in India? Do they do paleo dieting over there? I wonder where the differences are. I'm guessing that the dietary problems are centralized in the USA.
These look delicious. I've been craving chocolate a lot these days. Have you thought of adding background info to your ethnic recipes (like the medicinal benefits of tumeric)? In America, we call it "vanilla" or "vanilla extract." Maybe you could bring context to that difference- maybe it's because of the Indian word. You pick awesome recipes but, talking for myself, I'd like to learn and be swayed to your recipes for more than looks. Can you teach me something? A Canadian blogger suggested to me that I bring a cultural flair to my blog to draw the Canadian audience.
Thanks for sharing wondergul points. I love to hear feedbacks..many of my recipes are gluten-free but its hard for me with tight schedules to mention while sharing. My blog mainly concentrates on indian cooking and to help other foreign readers I have created a glossary too.i would love to teach you anything you would like to learn in Indian cooking 🙂
These look delish! We usually add chocolate chips to our Banana muffins. The last time my daughter made them she forgot to add the chips and we spent the whole batch missing them. 🙂
Wow! These look wonderful! Great photo also. 🙂
Are you going to pass on a few? Please….. I'm so much tempted to bake a batch but unfortunately, not having bananas handy 🙁 🙁 🙁
gosh… these look so lipsmacking good…
These look great! I'm not a baker but I'm going to share the recipe with a vegan friend of mine!
Those look absolutely delicious and a reciepe on a blog what a clever idea
