Yield: 12 muffins
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups mashed, very ripe bananas (about 4 medium bananas)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 1½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the bananas, sugars, butter, milk, and egg.
  3. In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, instant espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Fill each cup about three-quarters full. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  5. Move the muffin pan to a cooling rack, and let cool for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the muffins from the pan and let them finish cooling on the cooling rack.
  6. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Author:
Yield: 8-10 pops
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dark unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 ¾ cups whole milk
Instructions
  1. Put the butter in a large heatproof bowl and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, flour, and cornstarch. Add the egg and cream and whisk until combined.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, whisking occasionally. After the mixture boils, continue to cook, whisking, for another 2 minutes.
  4. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the butter. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute to cool slightly. Let the mixture cool for 15 minutes, whisk vigorously for 1 minute, then pour into ice pop molds. Freeze until hard, about 6 hours. Release the pops from the mold by quickly running some hot water along the plastic surface of the mold (be sure not to let the water touch the pops), then pull the pops out of the mold.
