I can see you looking at the muffins. I know you're thinking "...banana muffins? Been there done that." Yes, that maybe true; but have you had banana muffins with espresso?
At first, I was unsure at how well the banana and espresso would pair together. I finally gave in to my curiosity and made the muffins. The espresso adds a nice element to the muffins. Personally, I think the espresso made the brown sugar and chocolate more pronounced in the muffins. [Which made the muffins special for me.]
I really enjoyed my squat little muffins. In case you're wondering go ahead and divide the batter evenly without fear of "overflow". These little guys don't rise too high. The recipe is from the book titled "Baked" by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito. [Great book by the way!]

These look fabulous. I absolutely love expresso in muffins with chocolate, but to add banana is genius!
INCREEEEEDIBLE muffins.
TOTALLY AGREE! That book rocks!
Ohh how interesting. I love coffee and chocolate together but would never have thought of pairing it with bananas. You learn something new everyday :)
A chocolate, caffeine, and banana hit all in one muffin? Perfect!

These muffins are really cute. I like the size - on my 'must copy' list. Please stop by my blog to receive an award.
Thanks Gigi for another way to make banana muffins, it sounds so good!
I used to claim that I hated bananas as a kid, but for some reason, it wasn't so bad when baked into bread and adorned with chocolate chips! Sounds so perfectly nostalgic, with a touch of elegance thanks to the espresso. I've gotta go buy a bunch of bananas and make something like this now!
this is so funny because I recently stumbled across a recipe for banana muffins that called for about a tablespoon of espresso and I, foolishly, omitted it. the recipe wasn't very good so I'm going to have to take a stab at this one ... I have enough bananas in the freezer to feed a small country.
You done it again another delicious desert, do you live far ... :D
Ive never had banana muffins with espresso, they sound and look fantastic!! I love baking with bananas, I so have to try these! Thanks.. love this blog!
Those muffins look absolutely delicious Gigi! I was also wary about the espresso, but after reading this, I'm definitely going to try this out this weekend.
The muffins look WAY good!
I'm obsessed with coffee/espresso flavoured stuff right now so I'm sure I'd love these! I need to get Baked!
This is a fabulous book. I have to say that my muffins came out a lot more buttery than yours appear to be. I still loved them and knew I would because whenever I go to Coldstone I always get the coffee ice cream with banana and chocolate. Mmmmmm....
I have one sad looking banana on my counter that would love love love to party with some chocolate and espresso! I'm bookmarking this posthaste!
Excellent a pie. And it would be desirable to eat.
