• 1/4 cup dutch processed cocoa, sifted

• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

• 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana

• 1 large egg

• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325F and place oven rack in center position.

2. Spray professional mini muffin pan with Baker’s Joy.

3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sifted cocoa, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

4. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together for 2 minutes, scraping bowl down as needed.

5. Add mashed banana, egg, and vanilla; mix until combined.

6. Add the flour mixture and combine just until no traces of dry flour remain; add chocolate chips and mix on low just until combined.

7. Use a level #50 scoop to fill mini muffin indentations; bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Rest for 5 minutes before transferring muffins to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

• Cool muffin pan completely before baking subsequent batches.

• Muffins freeze very well between layers of wax paper in an airtight container - thaw in the fridge overnight or for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
