It’s an adventure having double chocolate banana muffins for breakfast. Because they contain, yogurt, orange juice, banana, nuts and coffee, think of it as a multi-course breakfast in a muffin. Add a cup of coffee and it’s a feast. Make lots. No one can seem to eat just one.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place liners in cupcake pan(s) (about 15-17).
Puree banana in a small food processor or blender. Whisk banana, yogurt, coffee, orange juice, eggs, oil and vanilla in small bowl until blended.
In a large bowl whisk together flour, brown sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt and baking soda until blended. Take one teaspoon of the flour mixture and toss with pecans and chocolate chips in a small bowl. Add the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture and fold with a spatula until mixed and no dry matter remains. Fold ⅔ of the pecan, chocolate chip mixture into the batter. Scoop into liners about ⅔ full. Top with remaining pecan, chocolate chip mixture.
Bake 16-18 minutes or just until a toothpick comes out with dry chocolate crumbs. Cool in the pan for five minutes and transfer muffins to a rack to cool. Serve at room temperature.
