Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
• 2 large egg lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup yogurt I used Balkan style
• 1/3 cup light olive oil
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 3 bananas mashed, medium sized
• ⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips reserve a few for the tops or use a bit extra to add to the top of the muffins

Instructions

 

• Place a rack in the centre of your oven and preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Grease or line muffin pan with paper cups.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
• Sift the cocoa and whisk into the flour mixture.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, oil, vanilla and mashed bananas.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until blended.
• Add in the chocolate chips, mix until just combined. To avoid tough muffins, do not over-mix the batter.
• Evenly spoon the batter into the greased or paper-lined muffin cups.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the muffins comes out clean, about 18 to 20 minutes.
• Let the muffins cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes before removing them and placing onto a wire rack to cool.
