Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I used to make this recipe almost weekly when my children were young.

These muffins are are full of banana and chocolate chips…such a wonderful combination that it is hard to eat just one!

Warm from the oven when the chocolate chips are runny …small hands and chins covered with melty chocolate….divine! Of course, just as good when cooled.

These are a good addition to any school lunch box. Nut free so no potential issue there. I could go on and on about all the ways to enjoy these muffins but I think you should just make them, enjoy them and see for yourselves how yummy they are!!
