These delicious Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Banana Muffins are perfectly moist thanks to the banana, and packed full of a favorite flavor combination. Perfect with your morning coffee, or even for dessert!

This week I had a couple bananas rotting on top of the fridge, and instead of tossing them in the trash to attract fruit flies, I decided to use them as an opportunity to bake! Normally I make a pretty healthy whole wheat banana pecan bread, but since I had half a bag of chocolate chips leftover from making cookies, I decided I’d make something a little less guilt-free.

Chocolate, peanut butter and banana is quite possibly one of the best combinations on earth, so when I saw this recipe, I was sold!

Elvis would be in love…

I had to try one straight out of the oven.

These were so good! They’d even be the perfect dessert. Some banana buttercream would have been a nice touch. I won’t lie, every now and then cupcakes for breakfast is pretty awesome.
