Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins from Platter Talk
This past weekend, I was checking our freezer to see what we could use up for some meals at our cottage in the middle of Nowhere, Wisconsin. As I was rummaging around, I discovered a bag of frozen bananas. This is something that I have the tendency of doing. When my bananas get a little overripe on the counter, I peel them and throw them in a freezer bag and use them when the urge for banana bread hits me. Well, with the discovery of this little treasure, I saw the opportunity for a loaf of delicious banana bread. However, I wanted to try something different this time. I turned them into Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins from Platter Talk instead.
These muffins couldn’t be any easier. With almost no changes, our banana bread recipe converts to muffins with ease. Instead of using a bread pan, I took out our muffin pan instead. This recipe makes 12 perfect muffins. With the addition of a sprinkle of raw sugar to the top of the muffins before they are baked, a wonderful crust and crunch to the muffin is achieved.
So next time you are need of a banana pick me up, give these muffins a try. They are kid tested, father approved in our house!
