Muffins so moist and soft they’re like chocolate pillows. Dubbed “wicked good” and not too sweet, these are breakfast babies, especially since I snuck in some whole wheat flour.
I gave out a batch of these to a household of 5 and it was reported back to me that Girl Roommate wolfed one down and Asian Guy Roommate said they were really good… twice.
Yay.
A jumbo muffin pan will deliver 6 puffy top muffins. If you go with a cupcake pan you can probably make 9 smaller muffins. Top with chopped raw almonds and coconut flakes, or anything else you dream up. I like them crispy and crunchy.
Adapted from my sesame banana oat muffins, this chocolate version stays super moist from even more bananas (there’s at least 1/2 a banana in each muffin!) and light in texture from 2 eggs, with a crackly, well-risen muffin dome.
You can easily turn these muffins into whoopie pies too by slicing a plain one in half and slathering on some coconut whipped cream, which is how I gave it to Kat. It was the last whoopie pie, so she cut it in half to share, but when she found out she didn’t have to and it was all for her, she ate the other half like a squirrel upon discovering its acorn stash in the dead of winter, gleefully.

These are beautiful! They look so decadent but I love how secretly nutritious they are! Such a fan of the toasted coconut/almond crunch toppings… reminiscent of Almond Joys 🙂 Is your adorable muffin tray from Anthropologie by any chance?
Thanks! I was hoping someone would notice my muffin pan! Haha. It’s surprisingly not from Anthropologie, though I do love all their kitchenware. I got mine at TJ Maxx. Just checked the back and the brand is called Grace Bakeware.
These little muffins look so cute and delicious too! I love the chocolate and banana combination – so I bet these tasted divine.
Thanks for your lovely words as always Thalia!
So perfect, I was just trying to think of a new way to use up some bananas! Love your topping on these!
My mom brought me something like 15 bananas in preparation for the blizzards a few weeks ago so I was in the same boat haha. Glad you like the toppings! My favorite is the almond crunch. It is… so crunchy! 😛
