Savor the Flavor Combo
Banana and chocolate is one of my favorite flavor combinations. I love it in banana chocolate chip ice cream bites, flourless chocolate chip banana bread, banana chocolate chip mini muffins, and peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip banana bread bars… you name it, I’ve obsessed over it.
I love the richness of these chocolate banana muffins with chocolate chips. The double dose of chocolate. The tender crumb of the banana muffins. It’s a texture and flavor jackpot.
