Dark Chocolate Banana Marble Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup greek yogurt
• 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Spray 18 spots in two muffin tins with cooking spray or place 18 liners in the two muffin tins.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until creamy.
3. Add in the egg, yogurt, mashed banana and vanilla. Beat to mix well.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
5. Slowly beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Do not over mix.
6. Place half of the batter into another bowl, about 2 cups.
7. In one of the bowls, stir in the cocoa powder and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
8. Spoon the chocolate batter evenly into the sides of the prepared muffin tins. The batter is thick so it will stay on the side of the tins.
9. Spoon the regular batter into the other side of the muffin tin.
10. Use a toothpick and gently swirl the two batters together a little bit.
11. Sprinkle the remaining mini chocolate chips on top of the muffins.
12. Bake for 17-18 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Do not over bake.
13. Remove the muffins from the tins and cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy!!!
