Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

These Double Chocolate Banana Muffins are simply perfection! They are moist, perfectly sweet, and chocolatey!

I created this recipe in 2018, but I realized that it needed some serious updates, to I present to you the new & improved Double Chocolate Banana Muffins!! If I had it my way, I would eat these chocolate muffins for every meal!

They are made with a combination of cocoa and milk chocolate which gives them that rich chocolate flavor. They are also extremely moist due to the addition of the bananas and applesauce!
