These chocolate banana muffins are a huge hit every time I make them, and now my kids make them for me.
It all started when I couldn’t find a banana muffin recipe I absolutely loved. I took a recipe and changed it, then changed it some more, testing and experimenting for over a year before I found the perfect texture and flavor.
It’s so yummy even preschoolers love it and requested them repeatedly after I swapped cupcakes for muffins at my daughter’s class party a few years ago. The teacher couldn’t get over all the little exclamations – “What do you mean it isn’t a cupcake? It tastes even better!”
