Something Sebastian and I love doing together is jumping in the kitchen and doing a spot of baking. I will admit, I am not 100% sure if he loves the baking side of it or the licking the bowl / beaters afterwards?!? All the same I love the time we spend together and there is always hope that this will turn into a love of baking.
Another thing I love is Summer and the warmer weather it brings with it. What I’m not that keen about is the fact fruit goes off so quickly – especially bananas. Now, whilst I love Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins I am not a fan of bananas so the slightest hint of them going off they are re-homed into my freezer. However, I don’t really want a freezer of frozen bananas so these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins certainly take care of that. They are always a favoured addition to lunchboxes and make the perfect morning or afternoon snack. I really like that they are moist yet not too banana-ry and super yummy! 
The recipe makes 12 generous muffins or 18 mini muffins (these are great for little hands) and if your not eating them straight away freeze rather well too. I always make a double batch as they are so easy to whip up and pop one in the freezer so I always have something on hand for those impromptu visits or visitors.These Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are best eaten still warm straight out of the oven when the chocolate is still all melty. I also like to make them without the chocolate chips, not as yummy but a healthier alternative for little tummies and at least you know what is in them. 
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 60 grams butter
- 2/3 cup mashed bananas (approx 2)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I love using white chocolate with banana)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Grease (or use muffin cases) a 12 hole muffin tin
- In a large bowl rub together flour, baking powder, sugar and butter into fine breadcrumbs
- In a seperate bowl, add mashed bananas, chocolate chips, egg and milk
- Add your wet ingredient to your dry ingredients and mix until just combined
- Spoon mixture evenly into tins and bake for 18 - 20 minutes
- **Chocolate chips can be omitted making the perfect snack for little ones**
My freezer is now home to a couple of dozen of these yummy muffins. I find kept in the freezer they last a bit longer as I am less tempted to eat them ALL. THE. TIME. Because, seriously who doesn’t love yummy muffins, especially when there is chocolate in them?!? Tell me, what’s your favourite muffin recipe / flavour combination? Banana chocolate chip would have to be up there for me; as well as those fabulous Caramello Filled Easter Cupcakes with the caramello chocolate inside..
Oh my goodness, these look and sound amazing. My favourite muffin combo is pineapple and coconut. Sooooo yummy and so tropical tasting!
Thanks for sharing!
Wishing you a lovely day.

Wow, pineapple and coconut – sounds so yummy!
Will have to find a recipe for them
xx
Banana choc chip is always a great combo, and I like raspberry and choc too. Yum!
Yes – raspberry and chocolate are definitely a combo hit with me too
Thanks for stopping by xx
I love the idea of substituting milk or dark chocolate chips for white chocolate in these. How divine!
They really do make them sooo yummy!
Thanks for popping by hun xx
These look so delicious! I’m looking forward to trying it and perhaps giving a bit to my one year old as well. She loves bananas! Great call about stowing some away to the freezer. From the looks and sounds of it, I, too may be tempted to eat them all the time. Thank you for sharing!
They really are! I made a double batch the other day just plain banana for the first batch and then adding chocolate chips for the second. In the freezr and now if / when my little man wants one cause we are having one he can have his minus chocolate.
Thanks for stopping by xx
I love the white chocolate chips paired with the bananas! How delicious. I am pinning this right now and plan to make it STAT!
Thanks Jen, they are pretty delicious xx
These look great and I just so happen to have a couple of overripe bananas in the pantry ready to use so I know what I’m going to be making in the next couple of days! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I hope you like them as much as our household does 🙂
Thanks for popping by xx
Wow I can almost taste them – probably as Im on a diet and not allowed them, wahhh! lol they look amazing!!
Hahahah… Thanks hun xx
I love baking too, but I don’t think I’ve ever baked muffins before or even eaten one…I’ve obviously led a sheltered life!…This recipe sounds tasty and easy, so what better ones to start with.
Pinning.
Thanks Deb, there are so many wonderful combinations as well – I also love using the same base recipe and adding frozen raspberries and white chocolate too.
Happy Baking xx
Yum I love banana muffins and these have chocolate in them too- what a heavenly combination. I wonder if you can make theses with Almond Milk as I can’t tolerate dairy. Thanks for linking with Mummy Mondays #Team MM
Hi Sharon, I am sure that would be fine. Maybe just add a little at a time until the right consistency is reached.. xx
Muffins with chocolate will always win for me! Bananas don’t last long enough to ripen in this house, if I buy a bunch they are gone in no time, unless I hide them 🙂
Hahah.. I don’t eat bananas, it is just my husband and son and sometimes I over cater in that department so banana baking here I come xx
Delicious! 🙂
Agreed!!! xx
