Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

I guess you could kinda say these muffins are what we were raised on, in a way.  I remember eating them growing up- we were always thrilled to eat them- they're really stuff of childhood dreams- gooey, chocolatey, and just downright yummy.  You'd stuff as many of them as you could without people looking.... and could almost get away with it.  

And honestly, there's not much you can do to make them any better.  Except for the fact that I always add way more chocolate chips in it.  But hey, where would any cook be without an inner child busting at the seams?  (oh, and the espresso powder. but that's our little secret.)





(this is my little secret.  that I put in EVERYTHING with chocolate.  EVERYTHING.)











Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

1 ½ cups flour
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup dutch cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. baking powder
1 teaspoon espresso powder

Stir together dry ingredients in medium bowl.

In a 4 cup measuring cup, thinly slice 3 large bananas.  Mash.  You should have at least 1 and 1/3 cups of bananas.  Stir in 1 egg and 1/3 cup veg. oil til combined.  Stir into dry ingredients just till moistened.  Stir in ½ cup chocolate chips and ½ cup white chocolate chips.  Do not overmix.  Sprinkle tops of batter with sugar.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or till muffins test done in center.  Make 1 to 1 ½ dozen muffins.
