Ok, drum rollllllll please! Chocolate Banana Muffins are the 'hot-diggity bomb'..I'm sayin'. Banana bread with a 'twist' being the muffins are chocolate with bits and chunks of banana and semi-sweet chocolate chips in every bite!
Really easy to make and not a lot of ingredients. Who doesn't love that? These are super moist and have such a rich chocolatey taste, and I'll just warn you now...it's hard to stop eating them once you take that first bite!
Ok...don't mind me, but I kept finding excuses to be in the kitchen and I just couldn't stay away from my new sweet best friends.
Warm or room temperature, they are scrumptious. Trust me, I know.
My mom used to bake the old fashioned banana bread with walnuts when we were growing up, so banana bread has always been a family favorite.
These were ideal for sharing at work the next day, so I wouldn't consume what was left. Just call me Miss Piggy! Also, perfect if you have company coming into town and you want to impress them with your cool baking skills. They taste that good!
It's awesome with hot chocolate...if so, did you ever dunk the banana bread in the hot chocolate like a donut? Yep...that would be me! Here's the recipe for Chocolate Banana Muffins!

I'm so happy you found this recipe too Chelsea! Thank you so much for making it and modifying it to fit your family's needs! I as well have found this recipe to be very versatile. 🙂
I have made these many times with the kiddos and they are always loved.
I have even substituted unsweetened applesauce for the oil and do 3/4 c wheat flour + 3/4 c all purpose (for the 1 1/2 c total) and they still turn out great. Also, we love using dark chocolate chips. Happy we found this recipe-thank you!
Updated Cassy! Thanks for letting me know and I hope you enjoy! 🙂 Happy New Year!
