We always have bananas that are ripe and ready for making banana bread, but when we want an extra treat we make these. They are made with brown sugar and have just the right amount of sweetness! My sweet 4 year old daughter loves to help me make them, and we like to make some to keep and some to give away to family and friends, which means we usually make two batches! These Chocolate Banana Muffins are certain to brighten anybody’s day! The dark chocolate chips are definitely my favorite part of this recipe, as they are a sweet surprise that are melt in your mouth good! Who doesn’t like chocolate chips! The sprinkled powdered sugar adds just the perfect touch and a little extra sweetness!
