Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Mix
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and free of large lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk together until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the Kodiak Cakes Power Mix, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and pinch of salt. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain muffin tenderness.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the batter if you desire more chocolatey muffin tops.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  8. Cool Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely to avoid sogginess.

Notes

  • Letting the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before baking can help produce taller, bakery-style muffin tops.
  • Use extra-ripe bananas for the best sweetness and moisture in the muffins.
