Bananas. Bananas. We go bananas for bananas in our house! We usually eat them right away, but sometimes they get too ripe for my liking. Okay, fine, sometimes I let them get too ripe just so that I can bake with them. One of my favorite things to make with over-ripe bananas (besides banana bread) is these double chocolate banana muffins.
Chocolate in the batter. Chocolate chips in there too. Add in some banana and it’s delicious! And my kids adore them! They do very well in the freezer too – I just freeze them individually on a cookie sheet, then put in a freezer-safe container for later. Take out what you need, defrost and devour them!
