Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
"I know there a re a ton of these recipes out there, but this one that I tried from a brand name recipe book, is actually pretty good, and deserves to be tried at least once. The brown sugar gives the muffin a new spin!"

Can't count how many times I've made these now... Thanks for the awesome muffins!!!!!!!! -
These are *truly wonderful muffins* w/a cake-like texture & great taste that is a bit hard for me to define. My 1st thot was Banana~Caramel~Chocolate described it, but then I thot it resembled Gingerbread in a way. Whatever it is, it is clearly the result of using all brown sugar vs granulated sugar. Cooking time was right-on & they came out of my muffin tin easily, but my yield was 16 very lrg muffins & I had to bake them in 2 batches. Getting extras was like a *bonus* as DH & I cannot stay away from them & they are going fast! Thx for sharing this keeper w/us. :-) -
