Ingredients
Before you start to make this recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the cooking process will go smoothly and easily.
Flour– we used all-purpose flour for this recipe, self-rising flour, and cake flour will work great as well.
Baking powder and baking soda – to allow the muffins to rise.
Vegetable oil – we used vegetable oil for this recipe. canola oil will work great for this recipe.
Buttermilk- we make our homemade buttermilk (1 cup of milk plus 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar).
Greek yogurt- get your Greek yogurt to room temperature. Any percent of fat will work for this recipe.
Dutch cocoa powder– we like to use Dutch-process cocoa powder for our muffins because we like the deep and rich chocolate taste, but the natural cocoa powder will work great as well!
Sugar- we used granulated sugar for this recipe. You can use caster sugar as well.
Eggs- you will need 2 large eggs for this recipe. Make sure that your eggs are at room temperature.
Vanilla extract- adds extra flavor.
Kosher salt- you will need about ½ teaspoon of kosher salt for this recipe.
Dark chocolate- use the best quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. You will need dark chocolate for the add-ins.
Chocolate chips- you can use any kind of chocolate chips for this banana bread, we like to use either dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or semisweet chocolate chips.
Instructions
Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
Into a big bowl, add the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, buttermilk, salt, sugar, and greek yogurt. Mix with a whisk until the mixture is well combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and sift the cocoa powder. Mix with a whisk or a wooden spoon until the mixture is almost combined.

Expert tips
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and yogurt. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
- Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have moist muffins and not dense and dry muffins.
- Make sure that you are using fresh ingredients! One of the most common mistakes in baking and making muffins is not noticing that your baking powder or baking soda is expired. This can ruin your muffins and waste your time and money on the ingredients. So every time you bake anything, make sure that the ingredients are not expired.
- Mesure you flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
- Add some of your favorite add-ins! Make this recipe your own and add your favorite muffins add-ins: white chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, chocolate chunks, banana slices, chopped fruit, and more! Be creative!
- Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat these muffins as it is pulled out of the oven, but let them cool for at least 20 minutes so it will be more firm and won’t crumble up. These chocolate muffins are extra moist and melt in your mouth delicious, so it will be worth it to wait these 20 minutes.
