I've been planning to this recipe for a long time. These Double Chocolate Banana Muffins are our family favorite, AND I'm making these regularly for my family and me. Actually, I'm making these muffins every time we (khmm.. well mostly me) got unbearably insane craving for chocolate during weekdays. These muffins are easy to prepare and can be made in only 20 minutes which makes them PERFECT for quickly fixing that sweet tooth and chocolate craving without the unnecessary calories. PLUS choco-banana combination is ultimately the best combination ever! PLUS there's also a peanut butter filling inside! Oh, my...

These muffins are real good-mood food... you know, the food that elevates the mood. They are made of bitter cocoa and dark chocolate, which are known to lift up the mood and reduce stress. My husband loves these muffins so much that if I just mention how I might probably make Double Chocolate Banana Muffins for dessert later, he's eyes starts to glow, and he starts to burst with joy. He's really easy to please sometimes. He always says that he feels immediately better when: a) he wakes up next to me (awwww soo cute) and b) when he knows that we have Double Chocolate Banana Muffins for dessert.

In fact, we are both a bit over obsessed with choco-banana combination. We do like to snag a Chocolate Banana Cake too. Those who have tried heavenly choco-banana combo know how addicted that combo can be.

We love Chocolate Banana Muffins because they are sweet, but refined sugar-free. PLUS they are DOUBLE chocolate!!! PLUS so moist, irresistibly soft and banana flavored! YUM!

We like to eat these muffins freshly made, straight from the oven and still warm while the dark chocolate bits inside the muffins are still melted. Trust me, this is like ULTIMATIVE pleasure!

These muffins may look loaded with calories, BUT looks can be deceiving. Chocolate Banana Muffins are made with all HEALTHY ingredients, very nutritious and moderate in calories. For making these muffins, I used whole wheat flour rich in high-quality fibers, super healthy coconut oil and raw cocoa. I also used Ceylon cinnamon known for its healthy benefits. Muffins are naturally sweetened with ripe banana, so they don't contain lots of added sugars. I also added bits of dark chocolate chunks into the mixture so that each muffin bite holds a piece of true chocolate fantasy.

Still in doubt about this chocolate splendor?! ... Let's once again sum up why I love these muffins and why you'll love it too.

Double Chocolate Banana Muffins are ...

  • made with all healthy wholesome ingredients,
  • moist and fragrant, full of warm aromatic flavors,
  • full of high-quality dietary fibers that promote good digestion and weight loss,
  • easy to prepare and can be made in just 20 minutes,
  • needs only a few simple ingredients,
  • refined sugar-free,
  • low-calorie,
  • enriched with healing spice - Ceylon cinnamon,
  • contain raw cocoa - powerful antioxidant that elevates good mood, reduces stress and depression,
  • perfect quick breakfast or kids school snack.

Convinced to try?  .... Well, there's ONE MORE thing! To make these muffins even MORE awesome, I filled them with (homemade) peanut butter and drizzled with melted dark chocolate and peanut butter. Try to say no to this babies now!!! If you're allergic to peanut butter OR you simply don't like it (... how's that even possible... ), just omit it. Muffins are just as good with or without peanut butter inside.

And now, grab the recipe and start baking.

Enjoy!
