It’s Friday and it’s snowing! While I know most people are ready for the snow to be gone, I’m excited about it. If we’re going to have cold weather, we may as well have the cold weather accompanied by some snow instead of just cold weather accompanied by varying shades of brown and gray.
This has been the case for the last month and a half and I’m ready for something prettier to look at. Plus, I have a batch of these muffins to eat while sitting by the window watching the snow fall!
Perfect with a big glass of milk, these muffins are full of the favorite flavors of peanut butter, banana, and chocolate. A couple of things that I like about these muffins over other banana muffins that I have had is the chunks of banana and the evenly distributed chocolate.
When adding the bananas to the batter, I made sure not to mash them too much so that you are able to bite into a chunk of banana instead just having the banana flavor.
I also use mini chips because you can use fewer of them while still having a taste of chocolate in every bite (and we all know that having chocolate in every bite is important!).
Throw in some peanut butter and you have your new favorite muffin!
I hope you all have a great weekend! If you need me, I’ll be sitting inside watching the snow fall and eating these muffins!
