These banana chocolate chip muffins are perfect for busy mornings!
I have been on a weird breakfast kick lately. I think it’s because I’ve been trying to eat healthier. By which I mean that I am eating so many fruits and vegetables, my body is wondering what in the world is going on. Has McDonald’s disappeared from the planet? Are tacos no longer a thing? Was the grocery store out of everything except green stuff?
My body is sad. But also happy. But a whiny sort of happy. You know?
Anyway, I was talking about breakfast. I’ve been eating it lately and making it a serious priority in my day. In the past, I’d generally just wake up, shower, and then work until I was so hungry that I’d eat anything in sight around 11am. “Anything in sight” was usually potato chips or cookies. I am disgusting.
Lately, though, I’ve been eating first thing and being sure to fill myself up with protein and fruit. Cottage cheese is an everyday breakfast thing for me, along with either an apple or a banana muffin. I can’t do straight bananas, because barf. That’s nasty, y’all.
These chocolate chip banana muffins are a little more decadent than my blueberry almond banana muffins. They have little bits of chocolate chunks hiding throughout. Chocolate and banana go together like peas and carrots, but so so so much better. No more peas and carrots. Please no.
Oh, and be sure to check out my chocolate banana bread recipe. It’s out of this world amazing. Or, if you’re tired of sweets for breakfast, my breakfast casserole is always a hit!
Anyway, I hope you and your kiddos like these banana chocolate chip muffins as much as we do!
Serve ’em up alongside some fresh strawberries or scrambled eggs or a bag of potato chips. Whatever. You do you.

Love these. Best choc banana muffins. Used choc chunks which I think are much better than chic chips ?

I made these for the first time today and they were really good! The smaller muffins I had when I was running out of batter ere a bit dry but still great. Otherwise they were perfect, my brother liked them which means theyโve passed the brother check and are legit great.ย
Karly says
Glad they were a hit for you and your brother! ๐
Cianna says
Can you freeze the muffins? If so, for how long?
Karly says
I haven’t froze them before, but I think they’d freeze just as any other muffin recipe. ๐

Can you use cupcake liners for this recipe?
Karly says
Yes, I used liners when I baked these.
DT says
These look amazing! Did you use milk or semi sweet chocolate?ย
Karly says
I used semi-sweet.
Sierra says
Do you use over ripe bananas? Can Splenda brown sugar and white baking sugar be used? This muffin sounds really good
Karly says
The browner the better, as far as bananas go. I don’t bake with Splenda, but it should work fine.
