We made these Raspberry Dark Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins in miniature form, which makes them super easy to prepare and they are a great snack-munching size too. The original loaf recipe was published in a cookbook compilation of young chefs: FutureChefs. So Brooks had his recipe published in a book back in 2014 when he was just 13 years old! This recipe was originally published here on the blog in 2014. It was edited with new photographs and re-published in 2023.

My son Brooks had a book signing at the local Barnes & Noble in Reno for the FutureChef’s Cookbook! Barnes & Noble was kind enough to make him a sign. He paired up with the PBS channel in Reno, who was having a book fair that day, and together they brought in loads of Barnes & Noble customers.

How to make Raspberry Dark Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins:

The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray.
 
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
 
In a separate large bowl, beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir in the flour mixture; just until moist. Don’t over-mix. Stir in the chocolate chunks and then gently stir in the raspberries.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups. If you want, you can sprinkle a few additional chocolate chunks and raspberries on the top of each muffin to make them look pretty.

Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack.
