I have been making these muffins for almost a year now, and they are awsome to say the least. They are light and airy, and everyone that has had one loves them. And the most important part they mix together quickly and are very easy to make.
Ingredients
- 2 small, very ripe bananas
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Dutch cocoa powder, sifted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- pinch of salt
- Butter-flavored nonstick spray
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray every other muffin cup with spray. Place bananas and vanilla in a food processor and puree. Transfer puree to medium mixing bowl, and wisk in the eggs and buttermilk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, or the muffins will become too tough.
In another medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a large spoon, stir in the bananas-vanilla mixture until just combined. Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups, until it's almost to the top. Remember to fill every other one only, this ensures the muffins will rise to a nice peak.
Transfer muffins to the oven to bake, about 20 to 25 minutes,or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cooled.
