Chocolate milk makes these decadent banana muffins extra special. So moist and delicious, they’re perfect for breakfast and after school snacking.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
During the school year, breakfast comes early at our house. The first child leaves the house before 6 am, which means quick, grab-and-go style breakfasts, like these Double Chocolate Banana Muffins, are a must at our house!
My boys are big TruMoo chocolate milk drinkers, so I decided to substitute chocolate milk in place of the regular milk in these muffins.
More chocolate is always a good thing, right?
And I’m really excited about TruMoo’s new Calcium Plus chocolate milk. As a mom to two teenagers and a pre-teen, I’m always worried about them getting enough calcium in their diet, and TruMoo Calcium plus is a great way to make sure that happens.
TruMoo Calcium Plus contains 50% more calcium per serving than regular low-fat white milk, and just like regular TruMoo, it has no artificial growth hormones and no high fructose corn syrup.
Which means I feel good about serving it to my family, whether it’s in a glass or a delicious muffin!
My family loved these muffins! They were super moist with great chocolate and banana flavor.
The recipe even made enough that I was able to freeze some for later. It’s always handy to have a stash of muffins in the freezer for extra busy mornings.
I used half wheat and half white flour, but you could certainly use all wheat or white.
And although I really love the chocolate chips, you could leave them out, or replace them with chopped nuts if you wanted to.
I recommend using really ripe bananas in these muffins (and any time you use bananas in baking), because they add more sweetness and moisture than no-so-ripe bananas.
One thing is for sure, these muffins are going to become a breakfast staple at our house!

Not sure about the recipe for the muffins but 18g of sugar for a cup of “trumoo” milk? Doesn’t seem like something we should be helping to advertise… Regardless of the amount of calcium, that’s insanity! There’s plenty of calcium in regular milk and plenty more in vegetables/legumes/nuts!!

I’m sorry to have to say this but these were not good. I’ve been cooking and baking for more than 50 years and I followed the recipe to a tee. They did not rise up like a normal muffin and the inside was the consistency of the mashed bananas even after putting them back in the oven for almost twice as long as the recipe called for. I so wanted to love them but I have to label these Pinterest fails. Sorry.

I came to the comments hoping to see a reply like this. I have to agree completely. No raising agent meant they were flat, gooey and inedible. Please edit your recipe or check it is correct before posting. Such a waste of ingredients.

I’m sorry the recipe didn’t work for you. It does call for 2 teaspoons baking powder so I’m not sure why they didn’t raise.

Hi,
I just had a silly question. Would vanilla yogurt be an ok substitute for the plain yogurt? I have everything in the house and that is the only thing that is off. Any reason that cannot be used? Thank you so much for such great recipes!
