When I heard the theme for this week's Taste of Home Tuesday was chocolate, I thought too easy! Wow, was I wrong. I scrolled through so many delicious chocolate recipes, I just couldn't make up my mind.
I was pulling something from the freezer for dinner when I realized that my frozen banana stockpile has gotten out of hand again. Narrowing the search to bananas and chocolate, I found these muffins. 
Normally I'd sprinkle the tops of the muffins with raw sugar before baking, but this time I waited until the muffins had partially cooled and pressed in a few additional chocolate chips. A chocolate drizzle would be good too. The texture is fantastic.
