Chocolate Chip Banana Spice Muffins
October 18, 2010 | Print | E-mail | Filed under banana, muffins
Sick of pumpkin yet? Truth be told, I’m not…I’m a pretty serious pumpkin lover and could probably eat it every day during the fall season. I wanted to take a little break from pumpkin though, which is where these muffins come in. They originally started out as simply “banana spice muffins” – I wanted banana muffins, but with a taste of fall – but because I love the combination of chocolate and banana so much, I couldn’t help myself and ended up adding in some chocolate chips. You can easily leave them out if you want; either way, these muffins are moist and fluffy, and perfect with your morning cup of coffee. Whip some up for breakfast this week!
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cardamom
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup mashed bananas
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 ounces chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, spices, and sugar.
In another medium bowl, combine the oil, egg, and milk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually until combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each one about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

The spices you added would really warm this banana muffin up. I love cardamom but have never thought to add it to my banana muffins. I think it would be excellent. As for the chocolate chips, well we all know that chocolate makes everything better.

Can you even GET sick of pumpkin? i don’t think that’s feasible. Great recipe, tracy!

These muffins look absolutely perfect as usual! And honestly, can you ever really get sick of pumpkin? I’m still on my huge pumpkin kick. I can’t get enough of it! However, this recipe is a nice departure. I would love to have a few of these muffins right now.

Perfect! I love how you added cardamom. I have been known to eat cardamom pods raw–they’re amazing. So fresh and pungent!

OOOOOOh! Banana and cardamom? Now there’s a combination I hadn’t thought of! I think I’ll swap out the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips, but oh baby!
