Banana chocolate muffins - 3 ingredients.

3 Ingredient Banana Chocolate Muffins

This is one of those super easy recipes. No one else needs to know how little time and effort it takes.  It's delicious, and quick, and you probably have all three ingredients at home already.

It is the PERFECT recipe to use up those old bananas! The mashed bananas go so well with the chocolate, making this a nice, flavorful muffin.

Another similar type of recipe is this three-ingredient apple spice muffins recipe. Move over pumpkin spice; apple spice is where it's at! Think of apple pie smell and flavor.

Why I love this recipe!

You'll be pleasantly surprised at how good this tastes! It's so quick to make and is delicious.

This is also a frugal recipe since you just only need three ingredients. You don't need to purchase a bunch of ingredients just to make one recipe.

Bananas and chocolate just go together! And it's nice to have a use for bananas that are a little over-ripe.

Ingredients

• Chocolate cake mix - stock up when cake mixes are on sale
• 3 - 4 large, very ripe bananas. So nice that they don't go to waste!
• A couple of eggs

Substitutions

You can't go wrong with this recipe! If you don't have enough bananas, add an extra egg. If you don't have enough eggs, add an extra banana. With fewer eggs, the muffins will be a little more dense but still delicious!

Thought you had chocolate cake mix at home, and you don't? That's OK! Use what you have, and I'm sure you'll love it.

Instructions

Step 1
Mash bananas.  Bananas that are a little overripe are best!  I often make these muffins when my bananas don't get eaten as fast as I anticipated.

Step 2
Add cake mix.  Just the cake mix.  Do NOT add the other ingredients that are listed on the box.  I get asked this often.

Step 3
Add eggs. I gently drop them into the mix and use a fork to beat them before incorporating them into the ingredients. Why dirty another dish?

Mix, then place the batter in a muffin tin.  I use muffin/cupcake liners to keep my muffin tins clean.  Let's avoid doing any extra dishes if we can.

Helpful Hint

A huge tip that makes cleaning up a lot easier.  I've started using scoops for a lot of my prep. work.  For this recipe, I use a muffin dough sized scoop.  It ensures each muffin gets the same amount of dough and doesn't dribble onto the pan (or the counter).  I also use them when I make my favorite meatballs and cookies!  

Step 5
Bake at 350 Fahrenheit for 16-18 minutes. It depends on how much batter is in each muffin well. And that depends on how much banana you use.

Storage

Muffins can be refrigerated for 4-5 days. They should be in a sealed container or wrapped.

These muffins freeze well. I recommend individually wrapping and eating within a month.
