A very important fact to make known in case you did not know is that, the more ripe thebananas are, their benefits and sweet taste increase proportionally. In other words, the blacker its color, the better benefits and sugar it will provide us naturally.

Banana and cocoa powder make super moist muffins. The proportions of the ingredients are in the correct measure so that neither overlaps the flavor of the other. This way you can enjoy whole wheat muffins with a pleasant taste, little invasive and with the right amount of sugar (I don’t usually make too sweet recipes).

Let’s talk about the recipe:

Muffins in general are a simple and uncomplicated preparation. They are distinguished by their particular, individual shape and different sizes. This kind of recipe, in my opinion, is perfect to combine with different extra ingredients. Make them in individual portions has that advantage. Which is very beneficial when some like an ingredient that others don’t.

About the ingredients:

The ingredients to use in this recipe are simple, practical, easy to find in any store. As always and while I can, I use all whole grain ingredients although sometimes it is possible that I do not get any of them easily. As it happens with sugar and replace it with another one that I have available (nothing happens, make the recipe with the sugar you have at home).

If you don’t have ripe bananas but still want to make this recipe, you can increase the amount of sugar a bit. Since as I mentioned before, ripe bananas tend to naturally increase their sweet taste. And if you use fresh bananas this natural sugar will not be included and will be missing. You can also replace the sugar in the recipe with sweetener or stevia. Always remember to decrease the proportion of the liquid in the recipe as well.

This time I prepared half of the mixture with chocolate chips to enhance the flavor of the bitter cocoa powder, and the other half of the mixture I added chopped nuts. Although they can be combined with other ingredients, such as almonds, hazelnuts, raisins, candied fruits, other dehydrated fruits, etc. Any option is valid, replace with the ones you like the most or do not add anything.

All dried fruits add more moisture to whatever recipe they are used in. In addition, they provide an extra plus of nutrients and benefits. If they are hard or dry, it is always a good idea to hydrate them before using them. And for this you can use water or a liquor of your choice that also gives that characteristic touch that many love so much.

About Cooking:

About cooking that takes just a few minutes, as I always recommend to be punctual, watch the oven and check the baking times. It is very important for any whole grain recipe, because overcooking it dries a bit more than recipes made with refined ingredients. Also, if that toasty crust forms, its taste will tend to embitter muffins and may be the reason many reject these types of recipes.

With this preparation I made 12 large or classic size banana chocolate muffins with whole wheat flour, using a muffin tin. Which is not necessary to have one, you can make them in muffins liners of the size you like the most and make them anyway. The amount of muffins that come out with this preparation depends on the size of mold to use.
