I haven’t made muffins in quite a while. As I was out riding the other day, I was thinking how good a chocolate muffin sounded. So as always when I get a craving for something, I made them right away. Banana bread sounded good at the time too, so I decided to make some double chocolate banana muffins.

It is usually an experiment whenever I make muffins or cupcakes on deciding how much baking powder and baking soda to use. For these muffins, I use 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. It worked perfectly. The muffins came out super light and fluffy.

Though the muffins aren’t super high in protein, I still used some chocolate milk combat powder in them. I think it really added to the chocolate flavor from the cocoa powder and chocolate chunks. I’m not sure I will ever get tired of chocolate. Ever. I pretty much have something chocolate every day and it never gets old!

After a long weekend of riding these past couple days, these chocolate muffins have helped keep me going. I did 80 mile yesterday in the 45 degree rain which was not very fun. Today, I did 70 miles and it was a bit chilly at the start, but since it wasn’t raining I had nothing to complain about.
