Chocolate Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3-4 ripe bananas
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 stick butter (1/2 cup butter)
  • 4 tbsp tahini
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter muffin pans (I use a butter baking spray, because it is incredibly easy to use)

  2. In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside. 

  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg. Add butter, vanilla, buttermilk and tahini. Mix. Mash the bananas into the liquid mixture. 

  4. Add the flour mixture to the bowl of liquid and gently fold the ingredients together. Add chocolate chips.

  5. Scoop the batter into the butter muffin pans. Sprinkle muffins with sesame seeds. Bake muffins for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a baking rack. 

Recipe Notes

I slightly undercooked the banana muffins; it gave them a fudgy moist interior. You can't really taste the tahini. In the future, I'll play around with adding more to really get the roasted sesame flavor.
