    Servings 12 servings

    Ingredients
     

    • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tablespoons of baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon of baking soda
    • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 2 cups mashed bananas
    • 1 large egg
    • ½ cup whole milk
    • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
    • 4 ounces Colombian bittersweet chocolate coarsely chopped

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or spray the 12 molds in a regular-size muffin pan or fit with paper muffin cups. Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet.
    • In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa and salt. Melt the butter and half the chopped chocolate together in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from the heat.
    • In a separate mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg, melted butter mixture and milk until combined.
    • Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and, with the a rubber spatula, gently stir to blend. Do not over mix the batter. Stir in the remaining chopped chocolate. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups filling each about ¾ full.
    • Bake the muffins until a knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the muffin tins.

    These Colombian Chocolate and Banana Muffins are rich and moist, making them a perfect dessert. I used Chocolate Luker, a bittersweet Colombia chocolate, but you can use another chocolate, if you prefer.

    My husband enjoyed these muffins, but my 6 year old said that they were to rich for him. All that chocolate makes these muffins a chocolate lover's dream.

    Buen provecho!

      I am so glad to have come across your blog.....I would ask my mom, but she doesn't measure anything, which makes it impossible to make her recipes.

      Now I found this recipe but I live in the United Kingdom (I use metric units instead of imperial though) and I was reading a conversion table and it said one cup was 200g!
      I was quite disturbed by the amount so I only put in what you would say was about 1 and a half cups and they still tasted good.
      Am I right in thinking that there was 400g of sugar in the recipe?
      Sorry if I'm wrong.
