Instructions
 

  • Line your muffin tin with 18 regular liners or 12 tulip liners and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Add in flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Gently sift and mix together.
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2/3 cups unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup white sugar, 3 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
  • In a large bowl, add bananas. Mash together. It should be 1 cup of mashed bananas total.
    1 cup mashed bananas
  • Add in white sugar, eggs, espresso, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined (1-2 minutes).
    2 eggs, 1 cup buttermilk*, 1/2 cup oil, 1 tbsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp espresso powder
  • Add in the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold until a batter forms. Do not over-mix!
  • Toss in the chocolate chips and mix in a few times.
    3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Evenly divide the batter between 12 liners, they should be almost or all the way full. Using a cookie scooper helps big time to minimize the mess. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips and white sugar on top for a crisp top.
  • Bake the muffins at 425°F for 5 minutes, then turn down to 375°F and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes. If you are baking in regular liners, the muffins should bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then 12-15 minutes at 375°F. Since tulip liners have a taller bake, they require more time. The muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted comes out dry with no wet batter.
  • These muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days, or in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week!

Notes

*To create buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar. Allow it to sit on your counter for a minimum of 10 minutes. Make sure it is at room temperature when adding it into your bowl.
