These Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Muffins are a perfect grab and go breakfast item for those busy mornings when you’re rushing out the door to work or school.
Please tell me I’m not the only mom constantly rushing around the house like a mad woman every morning trying to get my kids ready for school? Seriously my kindergartener had 6 excused tardees just in the first quarter! Yes you read that right, SIX! The number one breakfast request from my daughter is muffins, because who doesn’t want a little bit of chocolate to start the day? I know I do!
This month a group of friends and I are sharing some really tasty recipes perfect for your next brunch or any morning you want something more than a bowl of cereal. I make this recipe almost weekly because we always seem to have at least one over ripe banana sitting lonely on the counter and I hate to throw them out. Also I love that it only takes one bowl, because when I’m whipping up a batch of muffins at 6:30 in the morning the last thing I want to do is wash a bunch of dishes.
You can mix these up with any combination of mix ins if chocolate chips and pecans aren’t your jam, I’ve been known to swap in dried cherries instead of nuts when I seem to have run out. However you choose to customize your muffins, I hope you enjoy them, happy baking!
