I almost used these ripe bananas for banana bread, but I’m so glad I changed my mind. Instead, they became these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, and after one bite, I knew this recipe deserved a place on the website. I couldn’t wait to share it with you because it’s the kind of recipe you’ll want to bake again and again.

They’re soft, filled with chocolate chips, and topped with extra chocolate and banana slices for a beautiful bakery-style finish. If you enjoy fruit-filled treats, be sure to try my Chocolate Chip Muffins and Blueberry Lemon Muffins.
