Is it a muffin or cupcake? If you want it to “sound” healthier, call it a muffin. If you feel more like a dessert, call it a cupcake. Whatever you decide, you will love the mixture of chocolate and banana!
Start by peeling 3-4 ripe bananas and placing them in a gallon ziplock bag. Close bag, remove excess air and seal.
Use your fingers to mash the bananas until they are smooth. This method lets you see and feel any lumps that you need to work out.
Following the recipe, mix the ingredients in a medium bowl.
Spray muffin tins or use liners. Divide up batter equally into about 12-18 muffins. Sprinkle decorating sugar and chocolate sprinkles on top, if desired.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.
Let cool a few minutes. Delicious warm or at room temperature.
A muffin for breakfast or a tasty afternoon snack. Enjoy!
