These banana chocolate chip muffins are perfect for busy mornings!
Would you like to save this?
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.

Muffins are our go to breakfast and something everyone in the house will eat (hello picky 6 year old, I’m talking about you). My kids are chocolate addicts so those chunks are sure to seal the deal.

These muffins look so good! I love banana muffins, but with chocolate chunks in them, these look even better!

These are dangerously yummy!! I’m not usually a big chocolate/banana fan, but my hubby is, which is why I had to make these. They are so delicious I have eaten more than I planned to eat, yikes!! Had to send them to work with my hubby so I wouldn’t eat more(fyi I made 16 muffins total). He said everyone raved about them! They are so moist and fluffy. Definitely my new ‘go to’ muffins!! Thanks for the recipe!
Karly says

Mmmm. I’d eat just about anything that had those chocolate chunks in it! Luckily banana baked goods and I are old friends so these are sure to be a hit here too!

Holly N @ Spend With Pennies says
Ummm… YUM! Bananas and chocolate were just meant to be together. I feel like these will be a great addition to Little Miss I-Don’t-Eat-Sandwiches lunch box this year!!
Karly says
Haha! These would have been so welcome in my lunchboxes as a kid!!

So can you bake this in a loaf pan? How much time do you think?
Karly says
I haven’t tried it, but I’m guessing around 60 minutes. You’ll want to keep a close eye on it.

Confession time — I do not have a go-to muffin recipe of any kind. The sort of recipe you know by heart and whip up on a whim. But I kind of want these muffins to be that recipe now. So fluffy and chocolaty and perfect for so many different occasions!
Karly says
I hope they become your go-to!
Hema says

Rachel @ Mesa Cooking Co. says
These look delicious! Somehow I think chocolate chunks are about 43x better than chocolate chips – I mean, more chocolate is ALWAYS better. And this recipe looks great! Thank you for sharing ๐
Karly says
Agreed!
