Dark Cocoa Banana Muffins

I realize it's been a while since I've been able to blog. Between a baby and grad school, my time is pretty much taken. However, I did discover a delicious breakfast muffin recipe. It is kid tested with my healthy modifications.

1 1/2 c freshly milled hard white flour
1/3 c honey
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 t baking powder
1 t instant coffee powder
1/2 t baking soda
2/3 c buttermilk
1/2 c sour cream
2 eggs
3 T melted butter
2 peeled bananas

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease 12-2 1/2 in muffin cups.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, coffee powder, baking soda, and 1/2 t salt.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside

In a 2 cup measure, whisk, together buttermilk, sour cream, eggs, and butter; add to flour mixture. Add honey.

Stir until just moistened (batter should be lumpy).

Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full

Trim ends from bananas.

Cut each into 6 pieces.

Press a banana piece into each muffin tin. Drizzle banana pieces with honey.
Bake 15 minutes or until tops are firm. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
