Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
Today I’m sharing my delicious homemade recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins – a breakfast muffin treat so good you’ll actually be excited to wake up! Featuring cinnamon + sugar, chocolate chips, and of course bananas, it’s the perfect flavor combination that will have you going back for seconds (or thirds). 😉
Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
True story: whenever I’ve had a rough day or week, the one sure fire cure to get me out of a slump is to grab my baker’s mitts and whip up a delicious treat in the kitchen. I don’t know what it is, but baking for me has always been somewhat of a stress reliever, and it sure doesn’t hurt to make something that literally fills the whole house with the most delicious aroma!
So of course when I let the bananas go bad again for the 900th time yesterday (don’t judge), I figured why not take advantage and make some delicious banana muffins?
(This non-stick muffin pan is THE best for making muffins and cupcakes!)
But not just any plain ol’ banana muffins. Nope, these muffins have all the right flavors in all the right places. Bananas? Check. Cinnamon Sugar deliciousness? Check. Chocolate Chips because everything in life is better with chocolate in it? Double-Check.
Introducing (drum roll please)….Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins. The most epic muffins you’ll ever eat for breakfast. 
After indulging in one of these banana muffins yesterday afternoon, I realize these could easily be considered a dessert, but hey life’s short and why not start your day off right?
We all deserve a treat every now and then and plus these could totally pass for healthy muffins since they have bananas in them. 😉
Okay, I’m kidding, but seriously they’re so good you won’t be able to pass these up. Oh and in case you’re wondering, I made these from start to finish in less than 30 minutes. I call that winning in my book. (Scroll to the bottom of this post to pin this muffin recipe for later!)

March 25, 2018 at 2:32 pmI was excited to make these and took out of oven but they didn’t rise… the recipe I now realize has no baking powder or baking soda so they were a flop… would love to make again with that part added.
