If you make these muffins once, they will become your go-to favorite. When I happened upon this recipe, the thought of chocolate chips and bananas did not sound all that great, but I gave them a shot. Oh my goodness! I have made these on a regular basis since. They are perfect with your first cup of coffee in the morning, one in the lunch bag for a bonus, and everyone we know loves getting a bag of them “just because”! The best part, they get moister every day…if they last that long.
As I was writing, and Eliza visited Deb’s Mugs and Muffins….a shop that I would love to own, so I took the opportunity to name it after myself…if you have met her in the book, she probably really is me… I thought these muffins would be a perfect match with her freshly brewed coffee from her gourmet roasted beans. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
