1-½cupsmashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium to large)
½cupchopped toasted macadamia nuts, divided
½cupmini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Lightly grease the bottoms of a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, coffee powder, and cocoa powder until combined.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, yogurt and mashed bananas with a wooden spoon until well combined and creamy.
Gently stir the dry ingredients into the liquid until just combined, being careful not to over mix or the muffins will be tough.
Stir in ½ cup of the nuts and ½ cup of the chocolate chips.
Fill the muffin cups equally. I love to use an ice cream scoop to make quick, neat, and easy work of filling muffin tins.
Sprinkle the remaining nuts and chocolate chips equally among the muffin tops.
Bake until golden, about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
Cool muffins in the pan for 5-10 minutes and then remove the muffins from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack or enjoy warm.
Recipe Notes
This recipe can be made into banana mocha macadamia nut bread. Just pour the batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan and bake at 350F for about 45 to 60 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. If you are using a glass loaf pan, lower the temperature to 325F and bake about ten minutes less since glass is a better heat conductor than metal.Serving size: 1 muffinClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.10*SmartPoints (Green plan)10*SmartPoints (Blue plan)8*SmartPoints (Purple plan)8*PointsPlus (Old plan)
