Try our easy banana chocolate chip muffins
Our mini muffins were inspired by traditional banana bread. I love a good loaf but sometimes, I want something smaller and portable to take with me on the go. Mini banana muffins are healthier and so much fun but as a dessert lover, I had to sweeten them up a bit with mini chocolate chips. Honestly, I don’t feel like I can go back to plain ol’ regular banana muffins after these. It’s definitely the chocolate chips for me!
