🍫🧁1 Bowl Healthy Double Chocolate Muffins

Hi friends!
Today, I’m sharing a super yummy recipe that I just love 1 Bowl Healthy Double Chocolate Muffins! These muffins are soft, rich, and chocolatey, but guess what? They’re made with healthy ingredients and only take one bowl to mix. That means less mess and more fun! Whether you want a quick breakfast, a lunchbox treat, or a cozy snack with a glass of milk, these muffins are a perfect choice.

👩‍🍳 Method (In Detail)

Mash the Banana

Start by peeling a ripe banana and placing it on a large plate or in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the banana until it becomes smooth and creamy, with very few lumps. This step is important because the banana acts as a natural sweetener and helps give the muffins a soft texture. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.

Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients

Once the banana is mashed, add the rest of your ingredients except the chocolate chips directly into the bowl. This includes the oat flour, almond butter, egg, baking powder, and cacao powder. Use a spoon or spatula to mix everything together until the batter is well combined. The almond butter gives the muffins a rich and nutty flavor, while the oat flour keeps things light and healthy. Be sure to mix until no dry spots remain, but try not to over-stir the batter, as this can make your muffins dense.

Add the Chocolate Chips

Now it’s time for the best part chocolate chips! Gently fold most of the chocolate chips into your batter. Stir just enough so the chips are evenly spread throughout. Be sure to set aside a small handful of chips to sprinkle on top of each muffin before baking. These melt slightly and make the tops look extra yummy.

Fill the Muffin Tin

Get your muffin tin ready. If it’s not non-stick, you’ll want to line it with muffin liners or lightly grease it with oil. Spoon the batter evenly into 4 muffin cups. Try to fill each one about three-quarters full so the muffins rise nicely while baking. Once filled, top each muffin with the leftover chocolate chips to give them that bakery-style finish.

Bake the Muffins

Place your muffin tin into a preheated oven set at 180°C (or 350°F). Bake for about 17 minutes. Every oven is a little different, so keep an eye on them during the last couple of minutes. You’ll know the muffins are done when the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (except maybe for a melted chocolate chip!).

Cool and Enjoy

When baking is complete, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes it easier to take them out without falling apart. After that, move them to a wire rack or plate to finish cooling. Enjoy them warm or let them cool completely and save for later!

Did you know cacao powder is made from the same beans as chocolate, but it’s less processed and full of healthy stuff like antioxidants? That means these muffins are not just tasty they’re good for you too!
