I have a lot of chocolate for you today. Again. This time I offer you this chocolate in the shape of delicious Double Chocolate Banana Muffins. Muffins – the more simple brothers/sisters of cupcakes which sometimes look a bit overdressed with all that buttercream on top. You might notice as well who else is included in this recipe, but to make sure you know »who« I am talking about, you should watch this littl video…

Hope you liked the video. Back to the muffins. Simple things are sometimes better. Of course I like cupcakes with a lot of buttercream on top, but a simple muffin is just as good. Well, simple… this is up for discussion I guess. Muffins can also be overloaded occasionally. Chocolate, nuts, caramel, fruits – there is a lot of space in those muffin tins to be honest. These muffins here have loads of chocolate and banana in them. The result: delicious muffins you probably can’t refuse to eat.

If you want to make these muffins, you should keep in mind to work the dough only for a short time as stated in the recipe. The more you mix the dough, the tougher the muffin gets at the end. You want a muffin with a nice crumb, not a brick stone. So work quick and everything will be fine.

The muffins are my contribution to a blog birthday. Some of you might know Zorra already. She is one of the »oldest« bloggers out there with her blog kochtopf.me – by oldest I mean her blog has been existing for a very long time – 12 years and counting. I was not referring to her age. :P

I wonder if I will still be blogging in 12 years…. well – you will see I guess.

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • Deutsch

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line muffin tins* with cupcake paper liners* and set aside.

2. Mix the flour with cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Melt the butter and let it cool down again. Mash about 1 1/2 of the bananas and slice the rest so you get about 16 slices. Chop the chocolate.

3. In a large bowl mix the sugars with the melted butter until well combined. Add the buttermilk, eggs and maple syrup and mix until well combined. Add the flour mixture and mix slowly until just combined. Finally, add the mashed banana and about 2/3 of the chopped chocolate and fold in.

4. Fill the batter into the prepared muffin tins about 3/4 full. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate and place a slice of banana on each muffin and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out almost clean. Take them out of the oven, let them cool down a bit in the muffin tin, then remove them and let them cool down completely on a wire rack.

1. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Muffinbleche* mit Papierförmchen* bestücken und zur Seite stellen.

2. Das Mehl mit Kakao, Backpulver, Natron und Salz vermischen. Zur Seite stellen. Die Butter schmelzen und abkühlen lassen. Etwa 1 1/2 der Bananen zerdrücken und den Rest in Scheiben schneiden (es sollten 16 Scheiben sein). Die Schokolade grob hacken.

3. Die beiden Zuckersorten mit der geschmolzenen Butter in einer großen Schüssel verrühren. Die Buttermilch, Eier und Ahornsirup zugeben und unterrühren. Als Nächstes die Mehlmischung zugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Die zerquetschten Bananen und etwa 2/3 der gehackten Schokolade dazugeben und unterheben.

4. Den Teig jetzt in die vorbereiteten Papierförmchen füllen (etwa 3/4 voll) und dann mit der restlichen Schokolade bestreuen und jeweils eine Bananenscheibe darauflegen. Die Muffins für etwa 18-20 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt, und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Aus dem Ofen nehmen, im Muffinblech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann herausnehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen.

Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
