It seems I always buy too many bananas. We do love bananas but just never seem to eat them before they become too brown.
I know many others who have this problem too. Why don’t I just buy what I need? Well, the answer isn’t that simple. Why? Because sometimes I think my family will eat more than they do.
These muffins are delicious warm but also good at room temperature. Store muffins, covered, for a few days on the counter. Warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds if desired.
These muffins are moist with a soft crumb. They are light and chocolaty with extra bursts of chocolate from the mini chips.
