This is a great recipe for using up those overripe bananas sitting on your counter.

The base of this recipe is a box of chocolate cake mix, which helps make the muffins super fluffy and easy to mix.

We also add mashed bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.

Add in some semi-sweet chocolate chips, and you’ve got a double chocolate banana muffin that’s hard to resist.

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare a muffin pan with muffin liners and set aside.

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT CAKE MIX?

Yes, you can!

Try using a devil’s food cake mix or even a dark chocolate one for an even richer flavor.

I’ll bet there are others that would be just as tasty too.

Just be sure to follow the same steps with the wet ingredients.

HOW MANY BANANAS DO I NEED?

You’ll need about three medium overripe bananas.

That’ll give you just the right amount of banana flavor for this recipe.

They should be soft and easy to mash with a fork.

The riper the bananas are, the better the banana flavor.

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

Feel free to change things up.

You certainly don’t have to stick with the original!
