Notes & Tips

  • In the pictures, we actually used chopped couverture chocolate instead of chocolate chips. For cookies, I strongly recommend this method, but for muffins, either way is fine.
  • These muffins are good warm, but also great when refrigerated overnight.
  • If you double everything and pour into a loaf pan, you get a sort of banana-chocolate cake. Top with chopped nuts, then bake at 160°C to an internal temperature of 95-99°C (about 45-50 minutes).
