love muffins
So this recipe was adapted from my aunt Dede. Every time she comes to visit from Pittsburg, she always brings “love muffins” to share with family. Her presence is always more than enough, and the muffins are a bonus. Everyone now looks forward to the love muffins every time she comes to visit, and it has since become a tradition. I knew I needed the recipe to share with the world. If you make these for your friends and family just remember to add an extra sprinkle of love :). Disclaimer, you cannot buy love at the grocery store.
Chocolate, and then some more chocolate
You don’t need many ingredients to make these amazing muffins. A few ripe bananas and chocolate. The muffins get cocoa powder AND a large handful of chocolate chips (that is where the love comes from, so don’t skimp) The olive oil instead of butter gives the muffins great flavor and makes them dairy free. If you are allergic to dairy, make sure your chocolate chips are dairy free as well!

How to make Olive Oil Chocolate banana muffins step by step
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare your muffin tin with twelve muffin liners.
Step 2: In a medium size bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, sugars, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk the ingredients well.
Step 3: In a large bowl mash the bananas, then add the egg and olive oil. Whisk the ingredients until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until a batter forms. At this point add in your chocolate chips and gently mix until incorporated.
Step 4: using a large cookie scoop, fill muffin liners ¾ of the way full. Bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. ENJOY!
Notes for success
If you find that you have left over batter, you can disperse it evenly into the twelve muffin liners. You can substitute olive oil for any type of oil you prefer or butter. The more bruised and brown your bananas are the sweeter they will be.
Storage
You can store your chocolate banana muffins in an airtight container on your countertop for up to 4 days.

Thank you for trying the recipe, I am glad you liked it!
Preparing ingredients to make the Double chocolate banana muffins. The listed ingredients only include 1/4 tsp Baking Powder; however, the instructions state to combine the dry ingredients- baking powder AND baking soda. Should I be including both baking powder AND baking? If so, how much baking soda should I add? Thanks
Hi Sharon,
Thank you for reaching out! It should be 1 tsp of baking soda. You can add the baking soda in with the dry ingredients. I’ll fix the recipe 🙂 That was human error and I appreciate you catching the mistake.
