Some of my favorite creations come about because I have too much of something in the house – or not enough. In the case of these Chocolate Banana Muffins, it was because of both.
We recently started receiving a box of fruits and veggies every week from a local farm. Lately, they’ve been tucking a bunch of organic bananas into each. Now, we’ve got an abundance of the suckers.
And this Saturday morning, we found ourselves with a shortage of eggs. We had exactly one.
Oh, and I was craving chocolate.
So I tweaked one of my favorite basic muffin recipes and came up with these.
They’re nice and moist with a generous crumb and bunches of delicious banana flavor. The just-the-right-amount-of-chocolate portion tends to stay toward the top – making the muffin top, you know … muffin toppier.
Nothing wrong with a little chocolate for breakfast, right?! This muffin recipe features the perennial favorite combo of banana and chocolate for a muffin everyone will adore.
