Why are These Muffins Different than Your Usual Muffins?
One reason these muffins are special is that instead of oil, I use melted butter. To be honest, I think butter is almost always better. It not only does it increase the flavor level, but helps add to the golden color. Second, I use a little bit of yogurt in the batter. This adds a little zip to the taste and I believe it helps keep it from being too dry. Lastly, Chocolate Chips! Do I really need to say more? 🙂
Looking for something extra special and extra tasty, then Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins is the perfect find.
Mama Fawn’s Tips…
- Make sure you use very ripe bananas. My bananas are already browning and almost ‘squishy’ to the touch. This will help with the moisture and the super banana taste.
- Mash the bananas very well. No chunks. It should look like a paste.
- Do not over mix the batter, this will make your muffins on the tough side.
- If you are not eating them within a couple of days, refrigerate them.
