Chocolate Banana Muffins

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife July 22, 2020July 22, 2020

A quick and easy freezer-friendly muffin recipe you can whip up for the kid’s lunch boxes, after-school snack or weekend sporting event.

Who doesn’t love chocolate – and my family is no exception! We all love it in my household, that’s why this Chocolate Banana Muffin recipe is so well received by all my family members! I often make these and pop them in the freezer for an easy-to-grab school (or work – lol!) snack that helps to make school mornings simpler and a little less chaotic. These Chocolate Banana Muffins are also a great way to use up any overripe bananas!

Chocolate Banana Muffins

I made these for the kid’s weekend sports, took what we needed and froze the rest for lunch boxes to grab through the week. I grabbed one out of the freezer for myself, left it on the bench for a little while and it thawed rather quickly… it tasted as fresh as the day I made them… so good!

I have shared a recipe previously for Chocolate Banana Muffins, but on this occasion I couldn’t use the recipe as I didn’t have any butter.  I loved this version as it was moist and so banana-ry!!

These muffins were so quick and easy. my 5 yr old twins loved them!

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife April 12, 2015 - 8:08 AM

I am so pleased they enjoyed them, you could also make them as mini versions for snacks for their lunchboxes, easier to fit in their hand too!

Lucy @ Bake Play Smile April 10, 2015 - 5:53 PM

Wow how easy are these! I can imagine they would be so lovely and moist from the oil – what a perfect mid afternoon snack!

Katrina - The Organised Housewife April 12, 2015 - 8:07 AM

they were so moist and yes your right it was such an easy recipe, one I will be using often!!

Does it matter what kind of oil?

Reply
Belinda April 17, 2015 - 5:04 PM

My kids begged me to make these and since my cupboard is bare there were a few changes. I used coconut oil, only had 1/2 cup of sugar left so that was it, I had 4 bananas so in they went and I mixed wholemeal and white self raising flour. Chocolate chips were left over Easter eggs. The kids loved them and they froze beautifully. Now to restock the cupboards for next round!

I made these to use up over ripe bananas and a block of Cadbury choc that I would have eaten all by myself otherwise. I just cut it up into small pieces in place of the choc chips as I didn’t have enough left. They were a big hit. My son has taken one to school today and I brought some into my office for morning tea.

Katrina - The Organised Housewife April 27, 2015 - 2:27 PM

Ooh yum! I bet they were a big hit in the office too.:)

Reply
SARAH July 25, 2015 - 3:07 PM

do you mash the bananas?

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife July 27, 2015 - 9:53 AM

Hi Sarah, yes i give them a good mash. Makes it so much easier when they are nice and a little over ripe.

Reply
Andrea February 9, 2016 - 8:45 AM

What sort of oil is best for this recipe?

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife February 9, 2016 - 8:58 AM

Hi Andrea, I use either canola or vegetable oil, I have just adjusted the recipe to show canola. Hope you enjoy them.

Therese April 23, 2016 - 11:07 PM

I love these muffins and the kids do too! I often throw in a few spoon fulls of black chia seeds into the batter for a bit of crunch and an Omega hit.

Dana November 1, 2016 - 10:23 AM

I only have olive oil would this be ok? Or could I use butter?

Reply
John February 4, 2017 - 10:06 AM

So yummy and a great recipe!
I didn’t have cocoa so I added milo and halved the amount of sugar. I also used olive oil as I didn’t have any canola or vegetable oil
I am enjoying following your website and FB page

These are a regular item in my daughters lunchbox. I always seem to need to add some milk though as the mixture is very dry. Is that okay to do?

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife August 17, 2020 - 3:03 PM

Of course Kristy! Whatever works for you and your daughter. I’m happy to hear that she loves them in her lunchbox. Kat x

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
