These chocolate banana muffins are the perfect treat for breakfast or dessert. They are full of flavor and gooey chocolate, something the whole family will love.
Get ready to be addicted to these fluffy muffins. They have lots of great flavor and texture, especially when you add some walnuts into the dough. I always have several spotty bananas lying around so I tend to add them into my recipes quite a bit. These muffins call for three spotty bananas so they hold a strong banana flavor that pairs perfectly with melty chocolate chips.

You can easily skip the chocolate chips or add in white chocolate if you'd prefer, I made a half and half batch of chocolate chips and white chocolate because Matt loves white chocolate. These muffins were a family favorite and you can easily make them gluten-free if you'd like.
As you already know, I like to keep things simple! If I can make these fool proof muffins - YOU CAN TOO! So put on your baking hat and lets get started.

So how would you categorize the banana..do you mix it with the dry or wet ingredients? And do you mash it up first? Thank you in advance!

Great question! I added that little detail into the instructions. You will want to mash the banana with a fork and add it to the wet ingredients. I hope you enjoy these muffins.
