Hi Jo-Ann, Thanks so much for letting me know – I’m so glad you liked the muffins! And, I’m so glad to introduce you to cocoa nibs. I love baking with them. Happy New Year!

I tried your recipe last night. It was delicious! The muffin was moist, chocolaty, and bananalicious. I’d never heard of cocoa nibs until I read this recipe on your blog. After tasting the muffins, I realized they took the place of using walnuts and added crunch and nuttiness without tasting as bitter. I love this recipe and will be making more of these gems! Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you so much for your reply Sarah and also for the link to the conversion website. I do appreciate that American measurements are different so I now have a set of measurement cups that will do the conversion job easier 😉
I have to say that I tried your recipe again today and turned up lovely! I have used coconut palm sugar and Agave syrup instead as I am pregnant and trying to cut down on sugar.
Thank you for sharing such a a nice recipe. Raquel.

Hi Raquel, I’m sorry you had trouble with the recipe. 2 1/3 cup is a specific American measurement – It is 2 cups and 1/3 cup. Twice 1/3 cup would be written 2/3 cups. Most my recipes do not have gram measurements – I am not trying to exclude my overseas readers, but I haven’t had the extra time to go back and calculate the gram measurements for each recipe. I have two little children that keep me very busy! So any extra time at this point is spent with them. Including gram measurements is on my list of to-do things, however! In the meantime, there are quite a few websites that will change American measurements (ounces, cups) to gram measurements (for instance here: http://calculator-converter.com/converter_g_to_c_grams_to_cups_calculator.php ) and vice versa. I hope that helps! -Sarah

Ambiguous wholemeal flour quantity…2 1/3 cup flour…is that 1/3 twice or 2 and 1/3?? I think you should be more specific…I am not used to American measurements here in the UK and my muffins got ruined as I didn’t put enough flour ;( …a waste of my time and resources.
The recipe sounds yummy and will definitely try it again, but please make sure the measurements are well explained.
Thanks

I am loving the combination of chocolate, banana and coffee. I don’t think I have had it before but is sounds delicious!

In reply to Amy @ Fearless Homemaker. I'm so glad you liked them! And good to know that mashed apples work just as well. I'll have to try that soon.

My friend made these a few weeks ago, shared ’em with me, + I loved them! So, I made a riff on them yesterday, substituting mashed apples for the bananas, chocolate milk for the buttermilk, and adding more chocolate to compensate for no cocoa nibs. Gotta be flexible with what you already have in the house. =) They turned out fab! Thanks for a great recipe!
