Chocolate Mud Muffins


Chocolate Mud Muffins

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup carob powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
3 ripe mashed bananas
2 large eggs beaten

mix wet - mix dry - mix together
- sprinkle with chocolate chips to garnish -


Preheat Oven to 400F
*the high temperature pre-baking allows the muffins to rise higher*

Reduce Heat and Bake @ 380F
 20-25 minutes



Vegan Option: replace eggs with flax "eggs" by
 mixing 2 Tbsp ground flax seeds in 6 Tbsp water.

Gluten-Free Option: replace wheat flour
 for gluten-free flour and add 1/2 cup
yogurt-soygurt instead of 3 Tbsp.

                                                                               makes 9 muffins

  3. Kelsey these look GOOD -- they remind me of a dessert my mom would make for us as kids: chocolate pudding with crushed oreos mixed in and gummy worms on top -- its called dirt dessert or something like that

  5. These are looking mighty yummy right about now. Liked you cooking instructions: mix wet, mix dry, mix together. That's really all you need to say, teehee. Loved that you added bananas. I'd imagine these to be quite moist and delicious :-P

  12. Note to self: buy whole grain flour, carob powder, and a muffin pan.

  13. Oh my gosh these look perfect! What's the difference between cocoa and carob powder? Do you think I can just use cocoa powder instead of carob powder?

  28. these look scrumptious!!! Can I have one???? :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wow! It's so cool to see you baking muffins as opposed to just buying them (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with the beautiful GF ones that you usually have!). I rarely make my own chocolate stuff because they never seem to turn out quite right.. but these look so rich and hearty :P

    Those muffins look DELICIOUS! I'll definitely have to try them out soon.

    Thank you for the muffin-rising baking tip as well! I had no idea pre-heating the oven to a high temperature before baking made that much of a difference!

    ReplyDelete
  35. girl, it isn't even fair that you posted these! they look way to good to NOT make them :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Man, Kelsey, the muffins you showcase on your blog always have me DROOLING!! Chocolate, oh my goodness! I will definitely be making these and sprinking and much chocolate as I can possibly fit on top. You are 100% the muffin queen!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Thank you for NOT using choc. whey protein powder! I will be saving this one for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oh! THOSE are the sort o' muffins that are just asking for their tops to be picked off. And they have bananas in them. I think I love you, is that too forward of me??
    I might just have to hide three bananas somewhere where they can ripen in peace without being eaten...
    Did I mention that I think I love you??

    ReplyDelete
  39. Um, those are definitely insulin worthy!

    Hope you have a great weekend Kelsey!

  43. Did you ever eat those dirt dessert cups as a kid? I used to LOVE those. I bet they are even better like this, in muffin form. GLORIOUS.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Geez, Kelsey! Those look fantastic! And I like that the recipe makes a nice big batch. I never see the point in heating the oven for 6 muffins... ;)

    ReplyDelete
