Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (176ºC). Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with oil or line the cups with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, lightly whisk together the 2 large eggs.
- Add the 3 ripe bananas (mashed), 140g plain Greek yogurt, and 50g quark cheese (or substitute with 50g extra plain Greek yogurt). Add the 3 tablespoons good-quality honey (optional) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or the seeds from ½ vanilla pod). Stir until the wet ingredients are evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 180g all purpose flour, 85g unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small streaks of flour are fine.
- Fold in the 85g dark chocolate chips until distributed evenly.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ to almost full.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and cool completely before serving.
- Store any remaining muffins in an airtight container for up to three days.
