Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Teff flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.75 cups Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the teff flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until the batter is evenly combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently to distribute them throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Enjoy these Chocolate Banana and Teff Cupcakes as a snack, dessert, or even breakfast treat!
