It’s time for another Secret Recipe Club reveal! This month I was lucky enough to be assigned Edesia’s Notebook which is written by Lesa. She has hundreds of recipes that all sound fantastic like these Asian Turkey Meatballs with Peanut Sauce that are high on the list of things I want to make.
I picked these banana chocolate muffins for SRC because some days require chocolate for breakfast – like today.
I spent last night in the emergency room with my 2 year old. It was the first of what I assume will be many ER trips with those boys of mine but the kid says the free popsicle was worth taking a chunk out of his tongue so…
Yeah.
These muffins are so perfect for those mornings where you just need a little something extra to get you moving. I don’t even like chocolate that much but I couldn’t stay away from these. They’re great at room temperature but they’re perfect hot out of the oven with just a smear of butter on top.

I’m all about chocolate for breakfast, and these muffins are just the cutest! I rarely keep bananas on hand, but I need to pick some up for baking asap.

We love banana muffins and adding chocolate to them! Great photos!
Lesa @Edesia's Notebook says
Great choice, Amanda! So glad you liked them. Sorry you had to spend time in the ER; that is NEVER fun. Hope your little one is okay! (PS. I think there is a slight mistake in your ingredients list. It looks like some of the ingredients got copied and are listed twice.) Your pictures are gorgeous; I still haven’t figured out how to photograph muffins very well!
amanda says

My kids are begging me to make the muffin again. They loved them!
