I glanced over at my counter and saw three very ripe bananas. I guess my guys didn’t eat as many as I thought they would this week. I have to admit I don’t mind seeing overripe bananas every now and again. When it happens, I take the opportunity to whip up some Chocolate Banana Bread with Walnuts or a batch of Banana Muffins.
It really takes no time to make these muffins. The key is to make sure you don’t over mix the batter. This recipe is very simple and you can add your favorite extras if you like. Today, I went with mini chocolate chips and a sprinkle of crushed banana chips. Sometimes I make them plain or even add walnuts. Really the options are endless.
Give these a try and let me know what you think!
