Banana Espresso Chocolate Chip Muffins

Most of my banana muffin and bread recipes call for 3 bananas, so when I found myself with 4 particularly sad looking ones that needed to be used, I turned to this recipe. This turned out to be a very moist muffin with good banana flavour with a hint of espresso.

It uses the quick and easy quickbread mixing method though this recipe does call for the extra steps of mashing the bananas and melting butter.

Though they were a big hit, I thought there were too many chocolate chips in them; I’ll cut back on them next time. This recipe seems to be a good candidate for some substitutions….whole wheat flour instead of white and oil instead of butter. I’ll try that the next time I have 4 bananas on hand.
