Pillowy soft and delicious, these muffins are a perfect balance of banana and dark chocolate. Once you give these a try, you won’t want to stop at just one! Jumbo Banana Chocolate Chip muffins come from Life Made Simple. You can learn more about them here.
I used dark chocolate, as it is supposed to be healthier in a few ways, you can learn about here. We prefer it to milk chocolate, but of course, use whatever you like when you make these muffins.
For this recipe, I used our Large Muffin Pan, which is the same pan I used when making these Taco Cups. Here’s some info:

Let’s jump right in!
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 scoop Enrichables Pea Protein
- 1 scoop Enrichables Super Veggie Protein
- 3 medium bananas, mashed (about one cup)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ½ cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6-ounces Semisweet chocolate, such as Scharffen Berger, roughly chopped
- Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F/175⁰C*. You can use muffin liners, or brush each well lightly with canola oil.

Peel and mash bananas. Chop chocolate and set aside. I used a bar of dark chocolate, but you certainly could use semi-sweet, milk or dark chocolate chips. By chopping the chocolate bar, this gives you a variety of chunks and sizes throughout your muffins.

Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt, one scoop EACH super veggie protein and pea protein in small bowl. Set aside.




Combine sugar, bananas, egg, oil and vanilla in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients and chocolate, mixing just until combined, so as not to result in tough muffins.








Fill each well 2/3 of the way with muffin mixture. I used my large scoop four times to fill each muffin tin.



Sprinkle turbinado sugar over each muffin, and bake for 28 minutes if using the Large Muffin Pan, until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cool 5 minutes, then remove from pan.



All done! If you have any left, you can freeze them for a couple of months, or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
