Happy Monday everyone! After not having muffins last week, it’s time to get back to it although I think last Monday’s recipe was well worth skipping muffins for. I would love to have that for breakfast! I may have done just that at one point… just a handful. Maybe. But I digress. This Monday I have muffins for you and muffins are definitely more “breakfasty.” You won’t feel the least bit ashamed telling people you ate them.
This morning I bring to you bananas and chocolate! This is a classic combination. I love fruit for all its virtues just by itself however, I also never mind fruit with chocolate. These muffins will start your week off right with their moist cake thanks to the bananas and some sour cream. They’ll also give you a little something sweet with chocolate chips scattered throughout. Hope you all have a wonderful week!
Enjoy!

Glad to have you back this week! Love that you combined the bananas with this week’s recipe…it’s like you did a two for one muffin! Happy Muffin Monday 🙂
Glad to be back! Thanks! Happy Monday! Headed over to see your creation now 🙂
I Love bananas with chocolate, and these muffins are the absolute bomb! Yhe slice of banana on top of each one is perfect 🙂 My fave muffin place makes a banana muffin that’s to die for..and they smush a bunch of banana slices into the top before baking. My favorite part in the muffin top!
Thanks Lisa! Glad you like the banana slice on top. I actually almost immediately regretted that cause the bananas turned brown during baking (duh!) and I thought that looked pretty unappetizing. But it definitely tasted good!
I love banana chocolate chip muffins! So pretty with the banana slice on top.
Thanks Anna! They went FAST! I think they were all gone in just over a day.
Like I said, best of both worlds! Love that you topped it with a slice of banana too! 🙂
Thanks An! Loved the recipe this week 🙂
made these today & they’re yumm 😀 added vanilla essence & cinnamon too. thanks !
Oh I’m so glad to hear you made them and enjoyed them! I love your addition of cinnamon and vanilla essence. I actually debated whether to sprinkle in some cinnamon or not. I asked my husband and through a mouthful of muffin he told me they were perfect the way they were but I agree with you, cinnamon would have been a plus. Thanks for letting me know you liked them!
Chocolate and fruit always work well together–you’re right! Nice job on the muffins–they look very tasty!
Thanks Carrie! They went very fast around here 🙂 So good! Moist and banana-y
