Chocolate Hummus Banana Muffins
Original Recipe by Ashley Ortiz
Notes
Gluten-Free: Substitute oat or almond flour instead of all-purpose flour.
Vegan: Use vegan chocolate chips and substitute flax eggs instead of whole eggs.
Sugar: Because this recipe calls for very ripe bananas, the amount of additional sweetness you'll want to add depends on your taste. Personally, I have found between 2-4 tablespoons to be the "sweet spot."
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking power
2 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks
1/2 cup chocolate hummus
2 eggs
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-4 tablespoon sugar, depending on taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prep a 12-cup muffin tray by lining each cup with a cupcake liner and spraying each cup generously with non-stick spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt, and cinnamon together using a sift to ensure there are no clumps in the flour mixture. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, chocolate hummus, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract until all of the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Set 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture to the side and add the remaining amount of flour mix to the wet ingredients in small batches, making sure to stir completely between each batch until the mixture is well-combined until it has reached the consistency of brownie batter.
- Toss the chocolate chunks or chips in the 2 tablespoons of flour mix that was set aside until the chocolate is fully coated, then add the chips and any remaining flour mix to the batter and gently fold them in until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, fill each cupcake liner three-quarters of the way full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Enjoy them warm or store them in the fridge or freezer for a delicious snack on the go!
