Banana and chocolate muffins

In addition to the classic version of a banana and chocolate cupcake, you can prepare this dish with any minor changes to the recipe:

Do not put chocolate in the dough, but pour melted chocolate over the finished treat; the cake itself will be slightly lighter with cocoa and banana.
Using several types of chocolate in the dough at once will add some new notes to the classic version.
Change the butter to vegetable oil to reduce calories, but remember that butter gives the baked goods a special delicate taste and consistency.

Ingredients

With minor changes to the recipe, working with the ingredients is simple.

If the first option for preparing the dough without chocolate is chosen, then the composition of the products does not change, as in the classic version.

When choosing the second option with several chocolates, the dough is made from:

flour 2 cups;
butter 100 g;
granulated sugar 0.5 cups;
cocoa 1 tablespoon;
4 egg whites, whipped into foam;
3 egg yolks;
half a teaspoon of baking soda;
half a teaspoon of salt and baking powder on the tip of a knife;
three types of chocolate - 20 g each;
pinch of vanilla for taste;
1 medium sized banana.

To prepare a low-calorie dessert according to the third option, butter is replaced with vegetable oil in the amount of 100 g, and the remaining ingredients are added in the same ratio.

How to bake banana and chocolate muffins

Preparing and baking cupcakes is completely the same as the classic version, it is important to remember the sequence of adding the ingredients. As soon as the cake batter is prepared, you immediately need to put it in the cake pan. Baking time at 195 degrees 60-70 minutes. You can serve it as you wish: grated cookies, marmalade, coconut flakes.

It is important not to forget to grease the pan with butter first so that the cake does not stick to its walls.

Banana muffins - secrets and tricks

A chocolate muffin differs from a chocolate muffin with bananas in the composition of the recipe: less sugar, and more liquid ingredients: milk or sour cream. As a rule, they are always small in size. This is an English and American version of the cupcake. Usually they add fruits and berries. Here is one simple muffin recipe:

sifted flour 1 cup;
¼ cup sugar;
butter or vegetable oil 30 g;
sour cream or milk 90 g;
egg 1 piece;
baking powder 0.5 teaspoon and a pinch of salt;
1 small banana;
chocolate 40 g.

There is a special point in the ingredients tab:

First combine butter, sour cream or milk, eggs, banana, chocolate.
Separately combine flour, sugar and baking powder.
Then combine the liquid ingredients with the bulk ones, mixing everything.

The dough is laid out in small molds and baked at 190 degrees for 20 minutes.

Tip: You can check if the cake is ready using a match or a toothpick. You need to lightly pierce it with a match and see if the dough sticks to it. If the match is dry, then the baking is ready.

Having adopted the above recipes, you definitely need to try them in practice. A prepared dessert using any of these options will definitely please your family and friends. And if the baking is a success, then you will have a desire to show off your culinary skills at work in front of your colleagues. In any case, there is an opportunity to replenish your culinary arsenal with delicious “weapons”.

Hello my friends! Today we have a recipe from the two-in-one series: from one batch we will prepare both a gorgeous chocolate-banana cupcake and delicious muffins with raspberry filling inside.

You make me very happy, try to cook according to my recipes, leave comments. Most often, everyone succeeds, but sometimes there are mistakes. You write in more detail, we will look for pitfalls, figure out where the weak point is, either in my recipe, or you did something wrong.

Is there any point in “two in one”?

Today’s recipe was inspired by a trip to the store. Once a week we go to a large supermarket to buy groceries. We move around the store, staring at our list. You know how it happens, you give in, you pick up all sorts of stuff, and then you don’t know where to put it. And the money, sorry, is not superfluous. Therefore, shopping strictly according to instructions.

Tuesday evening - I have to go to the store. But how I didn’t want to get out from under the blanket, my head hurt, my bones ached. I feel a cold creeping up on my soft paws. In a word, the state is non-standing... The husband picks up the list and says: “I can handle it, baby! You can lie down!”, went to the supermarket. Everything was purchased according to the list (“my good girl”), but he decided to combine the last two items into one. Shampoo and conditioner are two different bottles. And he bought one bottle with the inscription “2-in-1”. You know what this is... Shampoo is not shampoo, balm is not balm... Personally, all these “2-in-1” do not suit me in any way, in general, never...

My husband promised to buy me the necessary jars tomorrow, asking: “So you want to say that everything where it is written "2 in 1", there’s no point in buying?” “I don’t know, I didn’t think so. My head is occupied with others.” And she was busy thinking about you, my dears. What can I offer you this time? And then... Bam and inspiration came! There is a sense in “2-in-1”! EAT!
I will be a good judge of my recipe!

Chocolate banana muffins recipe

I have silicone molds. I inserted additional paper ones into them. This is not necessary if you are working with silicone. But I went on a visit with these muffins, and they are more presentable in paper cups.

Everyone, enjoy!
