How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Fold in the chocolate chips! I used a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips.

How to Store Banana Muffins

Store banana muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in your freezer for up to 3 months. 

If you want to add another level of flavor, then cut your muffin in half while it is still warm and add a slice of butter or your favorite butter spread (peanut butter, almond butter, or even Nutella).
