Grandma’s Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chips
I never met my Grandmother Lena. She passed away long before I was born. However, my mother was always so proud of her recipe for Banana Bread. Here I have made it into Grandma’s Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chips. I often make muffins instead of bread. I like the fact that it cooks faster and it is portioned out evenly. With a family of all boys, a loaf of banana bread could easily be sliced in half and claimed and “mine”! Those of you with growing boys understand what I am talking about!
As I mentioned in my Facebook live video, I walked into my kitchen and saw a bunch of bananas that were very ripe and I was inspired to share a little of my family history with you. These muffins are great for breakfast, brunch, or with coffee for an afternoon snack. And I had to add chocolate chips, because everything is better with chocolate.
Grandma’s Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chips are so simple and come together so easily. And what is great they use ingredients you probably have in your pantry and refrigerator already. I like to use a cookie scoop to portion out my batter to get consistent muffins. I love my cookie scoops and use them for muffins, cupcakes, & meatballs. Amazon has an awesome set of three Stainless Steel scoops from LAO XUE for $14.99. You might have seen me use my scoops in my Lamb Meatballs with Tzatziki Sauce recipe. That is so good, you should try it sometime!
