Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (176ºC). Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with oil or line the cups with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, lightly whisk together the 2 large eggs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Fold in the 85g dark chocolate chips until distributed evenly.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ to almost full.
  8. 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).
  9. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
  10. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and cool completely before serving.
  11. Store any remaining muffins in an airtight container for up to three days.
