Banana Chocolate Muffins
Here’s a recipe for luscious banana muffins with a gooey chocolate lava center and a whipped cream finish—because you deserve the finest muffin magic! This will yield about 4 muffins (scale up as needed):
Ingredients
For the Muffin
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp melted butter
For the Chocolate Center
- 4 Kisses Chocolates
- 3 tbsp whipped cream
Instructions
Prep the Muffin Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
- Add the egg, brown sugar, and melted butter to the banana. Whisk together until well combined.
- Fold in the flour until just mixed; don’t overmix, or the muffins may be dense.
- Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners. Fill each cup halfway with batter.
Assemble the Lava Muffins:
- Place chocolate Kisses in a microwavable bowl with whipped cream.
- Heat it up at 30 second interval, until all the chocolate has melted.
- In the center of each muffin cup. Drop a dollop of melted chocolate. Cover it with the remaining batter.
Bake:
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the muffins are set and a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean (avoid the center since the chocolate will stay melty).
- Let muffins cool slightly, then top with a swirl of whipped cream. Serve warm to enjoy that molten chocolate center!
