How to Make Banana Carob Chocolate Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in ½ cup carob chips and ½ cup chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
