I found them a few hours later but it was too late &#8211; they were already brown and I had no intention of eating them in this state. And since chocolate and banana are two of my favourite flavours because they complement each other so well, I decided to improvise and created this quick and easy recipe for chocolate banana muffins. They are very soft and tangy and are perfect for an anytime snack or even breakfast. I have used dark chocolate in this recipe but you can replace it with milk chocolate, use chocolate chips instead (I simply didn&#8217;t have any) or mix a few different types of chocolate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Banana-Muffin-with-Chocolate-Chunks.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4394\" title=\"Banana Muffin with Chocolate Chunks\" src=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Banana-Muffin-with-Chocolate-Chunks-450x299.png\" alt=\"Banana Muffin with Chocolate Chunks\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Banana-Muffin-with-Chocolate-Chunks-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Banana-Muffin-with-Chocolate-Chunks-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Banana-Muffin-with-Chocolate-Chunks-450x299.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Banana-Muffin-with-Chocolate-Chunks.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #e8a633;\">Ingredients for 16 banana chocolate muffins:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>190\u00a0g flour<\/li>\n<li>120 g sugar<\/li>\n<li>100 g dark chocolate<\/li>\n<li>80 ml olive oil<\/li>\n<li>4 bananas<\/li>\n<li>2 eggs<\/li>\n<li>1 \u00bd\u00a0tsp. baking powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Chocolate-Banana-Muffins-Ingredients.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4401\" title=\"Chocolate Banana Muffins Ingredients\" src=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Chocolate-Banana-Muffins-Ingredients-450x299.png\" alt=\"Chocolate Banana Muffins Ingredients\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Chocolate-Banana-Muffins-Ingredients-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Chocolate-Banana-Muffins-Ingredients-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Chocolate-Banana-Muffins-Ingredients-450x299.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Chocolate-Banana-Muffins-Ingredients.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<!-- Start GADSWPV-3.9 --><div id=\"ga_os_10859895\" style=\"text-align: center; overflow: visible; visibility: visible;\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n     apntag.anq.push(function() {\r\n        apntag.showTag('ga_os_10859895');\r\n        });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br><!-- End GADSWPV-3.9 --><p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Ad 3 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8204055174938380\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2323002750\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #e8a633;\">Preparation:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sift the flour and baking powder into a big bowl.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
