If you’re a fan of bananas and chocolate then these are the muffins for you. Admittedly, they aren’t the easiest cakes to make and you won’t always have the ingredients on hand, but I promise that the results will be worth it. I have made them many times and people are always full of praise when they taste these tempting treats. Enjoy!

This recipe was taken from the cookbook 1001 cupcakes cookies & other tempting treats.
