These banana chocolate muffins take me back to my 90s childhood. My Maman would bake these muffins often, and this simple recipe is still a family favourite. You’ll need a large mixing bowl, overripe bananas, and pantry staples to bake a batch. Some have commented that the amount of chocolate seems disproportionate to the bananas, and to that I say there is no such thing as too much chocolate. The fruit makes the dough so tender, and the cinnamon sugar topping adds a fragrant crunchy texture.  Blast the Spice Girls' greatest hits, grab your whisk, and have fun in the kitchen!

Tips

‍

‍

Bananas

‍

Overripe bananas are perfect for baking!  I like to peel and freeze bananas that seem to be past their prime so my freezer is always stocked in case a banana bread emergency hits.  They add sweetness and tenderness to baked goods.

‍

Chocolate

‍

These muffins miiiight be more chocolate than banana but is that ever a bad thing?! I love the look of pools of chocolate, so I opt for fèves instead of chocolate chips. Reserve at least 7 fèves to place on top of the muffins before sprinkling with cinnamon sugar.
