THESE DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE BANANA MUFFINS HAVE AN UNEXPECTED SECRET INGREDIENT: HUMMUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F and prep a 12-cup muffin tray by lining each cup with a cupcake liner and spraying each cup generously with non-stick spray. In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt, and cinnamon together using a sift to ensure there are no clumps in the flour mixture. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, chocolate hummus, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract until all of the ingredients are fully incorporated. Set 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture to the side and add the remaining amount of flour mix to the wet ingredients in small batches, making sure to stir completely between each batch until the mixture is well-combined until it has reached the consistency of brownie batter. Toss the chocolate chunks or chips in the 2 tablespoons of flour mix that was set aside until the chocolate is fully coated, then add the chips and any remaining flour mix to the batter and gently fold them in until all ingredients are fully combined. Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, fill each cupcake liner three-quarters of the way full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Enjoy them warm or store them in the fridge or freezer for a delicious snack on the go!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large muffin pan with paper liners.
• Using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, a hand mixer, or two forks, cream the oil and sugar. Add the bananas, applesauce, vanilla, and water and beat until smooth. Beat in the eggs.

• Spoon the batter into the muffin liners until they are almost full. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out just damp with small crumbs attached. Place the muffins on a cooling rack and let them cool for at least 5 minutes before digging in!
