These easy chocolate banana muffins have been a go-to in my recipe rotation for three years. Moist chocolate muffins made with just a handful of ingredients; I love having them on hand for a healthy snack or dessert, but they also make a really great breakfast.
The shortest ingredient list ever!
Here’s all you need to make this super simple recipe:
- Dark chocolate Kodiak Cakes
- if you’re having trouble finding this mix, here is the store locator
- Baking powder
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Eggs
- Mashed bananas
- Vanilla extract
How to make Easy Chocolate Banana Muffins
First, preheat your oven to 350F. Then, grab a standard muffin pan with 12 openings. Spray the openings with some cooking spray. Next, take your bananas – make sure they are overripe. This recipe works best with overripe bananas. Wait until the outsides become brown, just like if you were to make banana bread. Mash the bananas in a bowl using a fork. If you need some extra help or want to really smooth out all of the lumps, you can use a hand mixer or even pop them in a blender to make the mixture super smooth. Next, add your other wet ingredients – the eggs and the extract. Whisk together.
Then, add your pancake mix, baking powder, and unsweetened cocoa.
Stir everything together, and you’ll get a mixture that looks (and smells!) like brownie batter.
Pour the batter by 1/4 cup portions into each muffin opening, and bake for 25 minutes. Note, the centers will be very moist because of the banana. They will be cooked, but they will still feel very moist on the inside – this is normal!
Commonly asked questions about this recipe
- Does it taste like bananas? Yes, it does. There is a clear banana flavor, as well as a lot of chocolate flavor.
- What if I don’t like bananas? You can omit the bananas and add 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened applesauce instead.
- What if I can’t find the chocolate Kodiak Cake mix? You can use the regular Kodiak cake mix, and these will come out great, they just won’t be as chocolate-y.
- How do you store these? Pop these in an air tight container or a large freezer bag and store them in the fridge for up to a week. They also store well in the freezer.
- How do you serve these? For breakfast, have a couple of these with some eggs and other protein on the side, or some fruit and yogurt. If you want a yummy sweet snack, these are great to just eat as is, or with a little nut butter smeared on top. To serve these for dessert, I have seen some people top these with whipped cream or even low calorie ice cream!

My favorite recipe of Steph’s that I have been making for years! I purposely keep 4 bananas to the side to ripen to make these. They make a great breakfast, snack or dessert! My significant other is always asking me to make them as well!
Jen says
So delicious!! Made a double batch last night with 1.5 cups of unsweetened applesauce instead of the bananas. We all loved them. Such a great snack that satisfies the sweet tooth!
Emily says
These muffins have become a breakfast staple in our house! Easy to make, soft with the perfect amount of sweetness, and great for on-the-go. Steph, you’ve made incredible chocolate muffins without the guilt!
Mary D says
These are really delicious muffins. Easy to make and freeze well for a grab-and-go snack. I’ll bring one in my lunch bag and it’s thawed within a couple of hours.
Beth says
I always have extra bananas on hand to make these muffins weekly! Awesome for breakfast or used as a base for a low point sweet treat. Love your recipes, Steph!
Krystin says
These muffins are so good! They’ve become a staple for me in my journey and are the first thing I think of when I have some bananas to use up! Definitely a must!

If I could give these more starts I would! They are so easy and so delicious! Sometimes I use different extracts to switch it up a bit! Love love love these!
Natalie says
These taste so amazing and the consistency is great. They are healthy but taste like a “normal” muffin, which takes away a lot of the guilt! I added some Lily’s Dark Chocolate baking chips, 4 points worth, changing the points of 2 muffins just a little bit. I will probably be making these weekly to satisfy my sweet tooth!
Bridget says
These muffins are SO good and a steal for 1 WW point! Serisously – feels like I’m cheating!
Melissa says
Really delicious! And for 1 point. 👍🏻🤤
Xtina says
These look amazing! Kodiak isn’t gluten free though, any tips for making them GF?!

Melissa Barlow says
Delicious! Definitely a keeper !
Karen says
Hey Steph – Thank-you for this recipe! I was wondering…. would this recipe work if I used 2 bananas & ¾ cup of applesauce?? I like the banana taste, but for me it was a little “too” banana’y….. so I was thinking maybe I could split it???
Thanks in Advance!!!
Steph says
Yes! Totally
Karen says
Yay!!! Thanks for the quick response…. I’m making these tomorrow!! Thank you 😊
Lesley says
How were they with the applesauce and is that unsweetened applesauce? How does that change the points because I typed in the info for these and got 3 pts per muffin on blue not 1 pt unless I’m doing something wrong ?
Steph says
it is unsweetened applesauce and the point value will not change.
Renee says
I make these all the time and they are delicious! Even my picky 2 year old loves them – she always asks me to make “cocoa muffins”!

Hi! I live in Ontario and can’t find any of the kodiak mixes. Is there a way I could still make these?
Thanks!
Laurie says
Hi Rina. Costco in Ontario has kodiak as does Naturamarket online.

Lindsey says
The muffins were good but mine came out Sooo dry! I am not sure why?!

Eileen says
Yummy These are delicious I love all your recipes thank you for sharing them ❤
Laurie says
Dark chocolate kodiak is hard to find in Canada so I made my own take on this! Used buttermilk mix instead of dark chocolate, added 1.5tsp of cinnamon and then added in frozen blueberries. Winner!!
Lori says
These are delicious! Also used the Kodiak Peanut Butter mix and they turned out great. They were ready in 15 minutes (no need for 25 min. in oven) Thanks for another great recipe Steph!
Barb Hickman says
Great ideas. I might try them with the Kodiak pumpkin flavor mixture
Barb Hickman says
I have made these many times and are great. Last minute need of a sweet treat with coffee for a friend visit. Made them with pumpkin Kodiak mix, with 1/4 c applesauce and a few mini chocolate chip morsels on top before baking. OMG, so good! Love how Steh’s recipes are perfect the way they are or making your own little changes.
Rusty says
Thanks for recipes
Lauren says
Loved these! So easy to make and provide a nice little sweet treat. I used the applesauce instead of bananas because I didn’t have any. Next time I might use slightly less applesauce, but overall they were delicious.
Maggie Baldus says
SO GOOD and SO EASY!! Such a great snack that feels like an indulgence but isn’t!
Laureen says
Nice snack or dessert especially since it’s only 1pt on WW blue. Definitely give it a try.
Betsy says
This recipe is the REAL DEAL! Sometimes these type of muffins can come of dry or tasteless. NOT THESE! these came out fantastic and I’ll be making these a regular in my breakfast rotation!

Lesley says
Just made them and they are great but when I put the nutritional info in my WW app on blue it came up with 3 points per muffin …how did you come up with 1 point?
Steph says
definitely not 3 points per muffin! it makes 12, the bulk of the points is from the Kodiak mix and the only other points are from the eggs (if you are on the green plan)
Stasia Ulmer says
Sounds delicious as I love chocolate.
Bunge says
I am not getting one point on purple I am getting 3 points for one muffin… what am I doing wrong!?

Kathleen says
Omg, so easy and delicious! I was so impressed with the taste when I tried them. These will be perfect when I’m craving something sweet!
Allyson says
OMG, these are delicious! Moist and chocolatey. I cannot eat fresh bananas, they actually nauseate me, but baked I enjoy. Strange, I know. Although these had a banana flavor, I thought it was mild and the rich chocolate took over. Will be making a double batch to keep in freezer. Thank you!
donna hart says
I have the dark chocolate muffin mix-do you think that would work
Beth says
Made these for the 1st time today! So yummy! I definitely think I’ll use these as a dessert! I would love a bit more chocolate flavor, but other than that DELICIOUS 😋
marissa says
So amazing!! I plan on adding a pb drizzle on top but even the kids loved them!
June Coward says
Just made these brownies. Used 2 bananas and 3/4 c unsweetened applesauce. Absolutely delicious. I had to improvise because I only had a mini muffin pan so I filled the cups and had leftover that I put in 3 small pyrex baking dishes. Baked at 350 for 25 minutes. Will definitely bake again.
Betsy says
SO easy I make them weekly for a quick breakfast or chocolate treat!
Suzanne says
I made these for the first time today and they are so good! They are rich and the chocolate taste is delicious! My house smells so good! I didn’t have ripe bananas so I used the oven like Steph suggested and they came out perfectly! I did only use 3 bananas because that’s what I had on hand and the taste is still perfect!
Amanda says
Absolutely amazing!! So filling and delicious!!
Jessica Campbell says

To add more chocolate!
Lori O says
These are a staple in my home, have one every evening for a sweet one point treat! I now keep extra bananas on hand just to make these.

Sue says
Delicious! Same texture as a “regular” muffin.

Holly says
Love these. Use a donut pan and make my kids healthier donuts.

Stephanie says
Perfection!!!
Barbara Lassandro says
So delicious!! I make these every week for my family. I also place three chocolate chips in each muffin cup for a little extra chocolate flavor 😃
Kate says
I made these last week ahead of our family vacation to the mountains. They traveled well and I love how they give you that chocolate fix but aren’t too sweet. Need to try with peanut butter next time for sure!
Meghan says
My family loves these! The 6 and 2 y/o want them every morning for breakfast. I have a hard time with them sticking to either bottom of pan or even paper cups (even with cooking spray on pan). Any suggestions? I’m not a great cook and these are so easy! Was thinking maybe add some applesauce to help with sticking?
Lauren says
Great easy snack to keep on hand

These are made and individually frozen for my chocolate fix. I do add mini dark chocolate chips it only increases by 1 point for me and is awesome.

I made a dozen of these on Saturday and they’re already gone by Monday! SO GOOD! I swapped for the regular kodiak mix because that’s all I had and added 1/2C chocolate chips (making them 3 points each) and they were a big hit!
Kathleen Hendel says

Donna says
So yummy!!!
Stephanie says
These are a staple at my house! I make them weekly and buy bananas just to let them brown to prepare for my muffins. These give me just enough chocolate that I need in order to not grab a snickers bar.
Linda says
Go to snack. 1 point and so satisfying – love this recipe! Quick Tip – if you use paper liners be sure to spray PAM inside the paper cup so the muffin doesn’t stick.
Jessica says
An instant favorite in our house. I baked them in mini loaf pans for roughly 2 pts each and they were amazing! Perfect healthy way to curb a sweet tooth.

Steph fagan says
So so yummy! Hubby approved! Perfect texture! Thanks Steph!
TPenney says
Hi there! How do you usually store these?
Jale Breidenstein says
How do you store these? Pop these in an air tight container or a large freezer bag and store them in the fridge for up to a week. They also store well in the freezer.
Jale Breidenstein says
I had four bananas and one cup of zodiac dark chocolate pancake powder left over and found your recipe! Quite delicious and easy to make. Thanks for the inspiration.
Jale Breidenstein says
I meant to give five stars! Sorry

Katie says
These muffins are my FAVORITE!! Not only are they delicious but so easy to make (and low in points). I make them weekly and leave them in the fridge for a quick snack. I highly recommend trying them out !!!
Dena says
Have you ever tried to make pancakes with this batter? I’ve been craving banana pancakes lately!
Tavi says
These were DELICIOUS!! I added monkfruit zero calorie sweetener until the sweetness was similar to a brownie batter (about 1/4 cup), and added 5 Lilly’s semi sweet chips on the top of each muffin and the were like little perfect cakes!! Thank you!!
Ruby Bigler says
I have several boxes of Pillsbury Sugar Free chocolate cake mix. Will this work for this recipe? I don’t want to buy more mixes until I’ve used some up.
Bansari says
These are a perfect snack afterschool or quick and go! I also crumble them up in my vanilla greek yogurt with some blueberries/strawberries for a healthier breakfast parfait.
Alyssa says
I can’t wait to try!
Brenda says
Would this work in a loaf pan? I do not know why but my hubby doesn’t like muffins but the very same recipe baked in a loaf pan disappears.
Valerie McBee says
I love having these on hand whenever I’m craving something sweet. They never disappoint.
Amy says
Made these withe the buttermilk mix since that is what I had on hand and they were delicious!
Kristen says
These are incredible! I only had 2 ripe bananas so I had to half the recipe but will be sure to have 4 on hand next time because these are insanely good!
Lisa Bolla says
Love these! I make them every week because my teens eat them for breakfast on school mornings.
Haley says
Hi!
Would the buttermilk Kodiak mix work as well? It’s the only flavour I can find in Ontario!
Thanks!
Ps. New to your site and loving it!!
Julie says
These are easy to make and very satisfying. I’m not a huge breakfast person but these muffins hit the spot!
Jennifer says
Love these for a sweet snack when I’m hungry in between meals!
Brenda says
Love this recipe I have made this several times
Robin says
If you dont have bananas, how much alplesauce do you sub?
Lisa S says
I made these using paper cupcake holders and they just didn’t cook right. Will have to try again.
Justine S says
These are PERFECT!
They are sweet & chocolatey! Just what you need for that sweet craving. I eat them for dessert with strawberries and whipped cream OR for breakfast. For breakfast I warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds and crumble it in my yogurt. Easy to prep for the week and have on hand when you need the sweetness!
BONUS – my kids eat them!
Kim says
Delicious! I just made a batch for the week and of course had to try one right away. They are chocolatey and moist! So thankful they are only one point on the blue plan.

I love these for an afternoon snack! My 3 year old daughter loves them too!

Claudia Rogovich says

Great not so sweet addition. A chocolate lovers dream. I used a tiny bit of rum extract instead of vanilla and it came out wonderful. Mini rum muffins.
Deborah says
Make these all the time now! Hubby approved!
Jessica says
Best and easiest muffins ever! I make them weekly and they are delicious every time.
Clarissa says

Karin says
These are so good!!! This is the second week I am making them to go with my yogurt and berries for breakfast.
Allison A. says
My favorite muffin recipe ever! Sooo easy to make and my husband really loved them 🙂
Kim says
Delicious & easy! Great in place of a dessert. What can you use in place of ripe bananas? I usually have some by the end of the week when I don’t use them, however my kids eat half of the batch I make an hour after they come out of the oven. Unsweetened applesauce?
Jocelyn says
Could I sub in pumpkin for some of the bananas? If so how much?
Angela Michaelidis says
Love these muffins!!! If you don’t care for banana you can substitute for unsweetened apple sauce. I’ve made them both ways and they are both a big hit in my house. Try with a swirl of the reddi whip coconut flavor. So good!!!
Hannah says
Such an easy recipe and they are so tasty!
Bianca says
These are so good. Perfect for your sweet treat fix that’s not a fruit!
Kristen P. says
Quick, easy, delicious! Perfect for my evening sweet tooth!
Mary Kate says
These are so easy and hit the spot for a quick low point sweet treat!
Amy Cassil says
These are so good! I’m hooked! Thank you!!
Stacey says
Made these as written in the recipe for the first time today, the first 2x I made them modified since I only had the plain Kodiak cake mix, I added more cocoa powder and a little 0 cal sugar sub. But yes, after trying both, the way the recipe is written with the dark chocolate mix is better! !
Adrienne Palos says
Just made these this morning! Love them! I added 1 tbsp of chopped walnuts which didn’t change the points! Will definitely be making these again. Great WW friendly recipe.
Jill says
So good! I opted to use the 1.5 cup of unsweetened applesauce instead of bananas. They came out super moist and very chocolatey; paired well with a glass of almond milk.
Stacey says
At least my 4x making these and I totally
forgot to add the eggs. They were flat but still delish! 😂
Libby says
Still my favorite muffins!!!! So good! Thank you for this one!
Courtney says
Soo good!!! Any ideas on what I could substitute for the kodiak cake mix? I really want to make them for my 9 mo old who has a cows milk allergy because he loves bananas!
Vanessa says
Make these weekly now for dessert for me and snacks for my husband when he is on the road!

I’m totally hooked on these muffins and the best part is I don’t feel guilty eating them! Thanks Steph for another winner!
Deb Shea says
These are AMAZING!! I have made them with banana and just recently with apple sauce. Both are equally as good! Thanks Steph!

Anyone know if you can use the Kodiak double dark chocolate muffin mix for these or do you need the pancake mix?
Samantha Huffer says
I am wondering if it would work to sub the cocoa powder for some vanilla protein powder (or just slightly more pancake mix). I was going to do the chocolate chip mix and also add some peanut butter chips. Chocolate cakes/muffins/etc are usually too rich for me. I like some in it, but the full thing I think would be too much for me.

I’m on batch 3 or 4 now of these muffins and they are so delicious! I’ve been making them in mini muffin trays and freeze them. I pop a few out every morning for my 6 year old for breakfast, he actually asks me to make more when we’re out. These have quickly become a staple for us and couldn’t make our mornings any easier!

Delicious! I didn’t have chocolate Kodiak mix, just the regular buttermilk mix. I also didn’t have cocoa powder. I added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, & 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. They were ~100 calories this way (if I calculated correctly). They are good! Great light muffin!
