Here are some TIPS for making the best healthy chocolate muffins:
- Mix the ingredients but DO NOT over mix. Just mix until ingredients are combined and then stop mixing, even if there are lumps.
- DON'T replace all-purpose flour with any other flour because the texture will change.
- GREASE your muffin pan with coconut oil for other added health benefits.
- For bananas, the riper they are, the better and sweeter they are. This also helps use up those brown bananas no one in the house will eat.
- If you are including any ADD-INS, make sure to add these last and then give the batter one more gentle stir to mix them in. Again, DO NOT over-mix or else you will end up with tough glutonous muffins.
- Make sure NOT to OVER-FILL your muffin cups so they don’t spill over when baked. I usually fill each cup about ¾ full. This gives them enough room to rise.
- Use an ice cream scoop to add muffin batter into the cupcake pan. This way, all your muffins will be equal in size.
- Muffins are best the same day they are made, but you can STORE them in an airtight container at room temperature for another day.
Try these FLAVOR VARIATIONS with the best chocolate chip muffin recipe:
- Add in ½ cup of nuts. I like to use crushed pecans or walnuts.
- Make double chocolate orange muffins by adding in 1 tablespoon orange zest and add an orange drizzle topping.
- Make double chocolate cherry muffins by adding in ⅓ cup chopped, dried cherries into the batter. You can also add dried raspberries or cranberries. Make sure to coat them in flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. Check out this post on how to stop chocolate chips sinking for tips.
- REPLACE the semisweet chocolate chips with ½ cup of white chocolate chips to make white chocolate muffins.
- Drizzle a simple raspberry glaze on top of the muffins for double chocolate raspberry muffins.
- Add a chocolate glaze on top to make TRIPLE chocolate muffins.
- Try adding in ¾ cup peanut butter for a peanut butter, chocolate chip muffin – mmm! Or you can just spread peanut butter on top of these muffins.
- How about adding a coffee glaze to the top of these muffins? Check out my mocha syrup recipe.
- Use a MINI muffin pan to make mini double chocolate muffins from scratch. This way you can eat more than one and not feel guilty because you know they are healthy.

Is the nutritional info based on 1 muffin or for all 12? Like per serving is that per muffin?
Abeer Rizvi
1 serving is 1 muffin. So, the nutrition info is for 1 muffin.
