I didn’t participate in Bakerstreet’s muffin Monday but I still wanted to make one for the week. So I consulted my trusty Betty Crocker cookbook & came up with a banana & chocolate chip muffin. I deviated slightly from the original recipe by using whole wheat flour, substituting applesauce for oil, and adding in the chocolate chips.
I loved how fragrant the muffins were as I opened the oven door. It was a mix of summer and chocolate in an instant. The muffins were moist with the sweet bananas and rich chocolate balancing each other out. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
