WW Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

  • Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 18-20 mins

  • Yields: 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 3 large overripe bananas, mashed (0 Points)

  • 1 large egg (0 Points)

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (0 Points)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (0 Points)

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (13 Points)

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (3 Points)

  • 1/2 cup granulated monk fruit or Stevia sweetener (0 Points)

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (approx. 15-18 Points)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Whisk in the egg, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Combine: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense. Fold in about two-thirds of the chocolate chips.

  5. Bake: Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin for that professional, bakery-style look.

  6. Cool: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

  • The Banana Factor: The spottier the bananas, the better. They provide the moisture and sweetness that allow you to skip the oil and butter entirely.

  • Mini vs. Standard Chips: Using mini chocolate chips helps distribute the chocolate flavor throughout every bite, making them feel more indulgent than using fewer large chips.

  • Air Fryer Method: If you prefer using your air fryer, you can bake these at 325°F for about 12–15 minutes. Just ensure your silicone or paper liners are stable.
