Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners, set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk flour, both cocoa powders, both sugars, baking soda, baking powder, salt and together until thoroughly combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips and gently toss the rest into the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, mashed bananas and oil. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently stir until everything is just combined. You don't want to over-mix or you will have tough muffins.

Scoop batter (I like to use an ice cream scoop) into prepared muffin tin 3/4 to the top, don't be afraid to fill them. Melt peanut butter in a small bowl, drizzle some on top of each well of batter and swirl with the tip of a knife. Sprinkle a few of the reserved chocolate chips on top and gently press them down. Bake muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs on it. Allow muffins to cool in hot pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins will stay fresh for 3-4 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Muffins can be frozen up to 3 months.*
