Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. mashed, very ripe bananas (about 4 medium bananas)
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 c. whole milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. instant espresso powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
In a medium bowl, stir together the bananas, sugars, butter, milk, and egg. In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, instant espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and stir just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Fill each cup about 3/4 full. Bake in the center of the oven for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Move the muffin pan to a cooling rack, and let cool for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the muffins from the pan and let them finish cooling on the cooling rack. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
