These muffins are delicious, healthy & have very low fat content which kids as well as adults will enjoy. Banana & chocolate combine to form a perfect pair in these moist muffins.
Have you ever wondered what to do with those over ripe bananas that just sit in that fruit bowl? Well, nobody will eat them because they are just a bit too brown & soft. I don’t mind them a little soft but the rest of the family likes them firm & not too sweet.
These muffins are fabulous as they have just the right amount of banana which you can taste it. It has silky chocolate chips & has the sweet flavor of vanilla. It is best enjoyed fresh from the oven. If you wish to have enough energy to see you through the day then you must go for this. A great way to enjoy your breakfast with fruit & chocolate!! 😀

Fill the muffin cups to ¾ capacity uniformly & evenly using an ice-cream scoop or a round spoon.
