If you haven’t tried The Best Banana Bread or Muffin recipe, (you are seriously missing out) this is the perfect time to go ahead and make it! If you happen to have a small sweet tooth, like I do, then you might like the addition of chocolate chips to this recipe. The recipe is the same, however you toss in a couple handfuls of chocolate chips to liven them up! This recipe can be made in muffin tins, or as a loaf. A loaf will take more time to cook, but is equally delicious. These make the perfect housewarming gift!

I like that these are a no mixer. I love less dishes to wash! Would you say that these freeze well? I am thinking of making the muffins in advance to have on hand for an emergency. Thanks for sharing at What’d You Do This Weekend.

I haven’t tried freezing them with the chocolate chips, but I have without and they are amazing still. I would bet with the chips they would be great, too! Thanks for coming by!
