Double Chocolate Blender Muffins

Beware. These Double Chocolate Blender Muffins are addicting! Partly, because they couldn’t be easier to make! They’re basically a brownie in a little muffin form and come together so quickly! You don’t even need a blender if you’ve got some muscles handy! They’re filled with good-for-you ingredients, have no refined sugars, dairy, or gluten! They’re treat you can feel good about eating! …As long as you don’t eat the whole batch in one day! 😉 They’re pretty tasty though…so I wouldn’t blame you!

These are made with plantains. They look like a large banana. Unripe plantains are green. They’re very firm and starchy. Cooking with them is a lot like cooking with potatoes. They can be a pain to peel, so if you aren’t familiar. Youtube it! There are a bunch of videos that easily explain how to do it! That’s how I learned!

When a plantain is ripe, it becomes a bit sweeter and less starchy. These are the ones used for this recipe. However, they are not as soft as a ripe banana. Therefore, blending them up makes things easier. If you don’t have a blender handy, just mash them up until there are no clumps left. They’ll still turn out delicious!

Recipe Notes

*I tried this without the baking soda and my husband still loved them! They're more dense, moist, and brownie-like. Either way, you can't go wrong!
