I made these muffins during the holiday season for our church’s Hospitality Committee one Sunday morning last year. I like to bring in sweet treats and these were a huge hit with everyone. While not all folks enjoy mint, the flavor in these muffins is subtle and not overpowering. Of course, having a dose of chocolate in each bite doesn’t hurt either! 🙂
I happen to be a big fan of mint-chocolate anything. I’ve made so many different kinds of cookies, brownies, brownies with icing, brownie cups, tea cakes and even gluten free stuff. I seem to always be baking up something with these wonderful baking chips and they deliver each and every time!
Give Mint Chocolate Fudge Muffins a try the next time you want a sweet treat for breakfast. You’ll be swooning over every bite. 🙂

Mint Chocolate Fudge Muffins are great to enjoy with your morning coffee!
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Mash bananas on a plate with a fork; set aside.
Place unbleached flour in a large mixing bowl. Add granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.
Stir ingredients with a spoon or whisk to combine. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine applesauce, oil, mashed bananas, egg and half-and-half.
Whisk well to combine.
Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients in mixing bowl.
Add mint chocolate fudge baking chunks.
Stir ingredients to combine.
Spray miniature muffin tins well with cooking spray. Fill almost to the top with muffin batter.
Bake miniature muffins at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans about 5-10 minutes before removing from pans to wire cooling racks.
Every bite is awesome!
Every batch makes 40 miniature muffins so this is a great recipe to feed a crowd.
