Another month has flown by and it's Muffin Monday again! I thought I'd be able to share a blueberry recipe this time around, but my berries weren't quite producing enough. In an effort to clear out some freezer/pantry space, I chose these Banana Mocha Chip Muffins from Taste of Home.
I thought I'd sprayed the insides of the tin well, but should have done the flat surface as well. A few of the tops separated from the bottoms, but they are still delicious. I pull them apart, eat the bottom first and then save the crunchy top for last anyway.
I'd like to do them as bite sized muffins next time and I think mini chips would work better for that. Thank you so much to Melissa W. for sharing her recipe!

I love the addition of the turbinado sugar on top of your lovely muffins, Jolene. I have a bag of that good stuff in my cupboard but I never seem to remember to use it. Thanks for the nudge!
ReplyDeleteThese sound SO good to me - I love this flavor profile! I had carrot muffins on my "to bake" list this week - but these may have to bump them!
ReplyDeleteBanana and mocha sounds like such a delicious combination! It's also great to clear out the freezer/pantry a bit too!
ReplyDeleteI love the flavor combination you put together here. I always have bananas in the freezer and am constantly looking for recipes. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou got me with coffee, that too with banana, coffee and chocolate chip muffins. I am going to try this one.
ReplyDeleteI love that you added coffee into these muffins! A great idea for a morning muffin!
ReplyDeleteWhat if you don't like coffee, what would you suggest as a substitute? They sound great otherwise!
