Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins by Alicja

I was always hungry for chocolate banana muffins but never managed to bake them perfectly. This time the result has exceeded my highest expectations and therefore, I would love to show my brand new homemade muffins to the world and share the recipe with you.

Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas

1 tbs raw cocoa powder (Ecoandino)

70 g dark 74% cacao chocolate

160 g plain flour

40 g coconut flour (Renée Voltaire)

40 g carob powder or soft light brown sugar

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

125 ml vegetable oil

Preparations:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and prepare your muffins form.

2. Mash the bananas with a fork or a mixer. Still mixing add the oil, eggs and carob/brown sugar.

3. Blend all the dry ingredients together: both flours, cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda.

4. Add this blend beating gently or mixing with a spoon, to the banana mixture.

5. Chop the chocolate bar and add it to the dough gently mixing with a wooden spoon.

6. Spoon the dough to the muffins form.

7. Bake in the oven for 15-20 min. After this time switch it off, open the oven and let the muffins cool slightly for 10-15 min before you take them out. It will protect muffins against subsiding (falling) and loosing their beautiful form.

Prepare the muffins form Mix bananas with eggs, oil and carob powder or brown sugar Chop the organic and raw chocolate Add chocolate to the dough and gently mix with a wooden spoon Spoon the dough into the forms Bake for 15-20 min in the preheated oven Switch off the oven.
