Instructions

Mash the bananas in a large bowl, then whisk in the eggs, Greek yogurt, and melted butter until smooth. Add the white sugar and brown sugar and mix until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined, do not overmix.

Fold in the 100 g dark chocolate chips. The batter will be thick, that’s perfect for moist muffins.

Line your muffin tin and divide the batter evenly.

Bake for 5 minutes at 200°C, then reduce to 180°C and bake for another 18 minutes. This high-heat start creates the signature high muffin top.

Let the muffins rest in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Serve warm for melty chocolate centers or at room temperature for a fudgier texture.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Ripen Bananas Strategically 🍌
Use bananas with brown spots and slightly soft texture for maximum sweetness and moisture; overripe bananas (almost black) contain more natural sugars and break down better in the batter for ultra-moist muffins.
Greek Yogurt Substitution Secret 🥛
Replace some or all of the butter with Greek yogurt to add richness and moisture while reducing fat; this creates an incredibly tender crumb while the protein keeps the muffins structurally sound.
Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🍫
Mix cocoa powder with a small amount of hot water or melted chocolate before adding to the batter to activate its flavor compounds and eliminate any bitter, dusty taste for deeper chocolate notes.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄
Fold ingredients together gently until just combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, dense muffins instead of the light, fluffy texture you want; a few small lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
Fill Muffin Cups Strategically 🧁
Fill each cup about two-thirds full and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking so they partially set into the surface, creating pockets of melted chocolate throughout without sinking to the bottom.
