Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Sometimes the best things to find in the fruit basket are a couple of over-ripe bananas. These Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins helped me measure and stir away the stresses of last week, and turned out to be a lovely Sunday morning breakfast. 

The purple silicon baking cups were a gift from my lovely bestie, Rae, back when my first book – all about a bakery – was first published a couple of years ago. Even though the small press that published that book has since closed its doors – I have the rights again and haven’t made up my mind about what to do with the manuscript – I still get a big smile whenever I use the cups and think about all I learned through my first foray into publishing. Trust me, it was a lot. Thanks, Rae!

Happy Sunday to you! It’s a mild plus 2 here today, so I’m going to lace up my sneakers and hit the paths along the canal.

Thanks for stopping by,
