With all of the seasonal apple and pumpkin baking I have been doing lately, the bananas in my fruit basket have been left to ripen quite nicely.  I am picky about my bananas and I don’t like to eat them once they get really yellow and have black spots on them.  To help prevent them from becoming a main attraction for fruit flies, I knew I needed to bake something with them today.

While looking through my baking cupboard to see what I had to mix with these ripe bananas, I came across some peanut butter chips that I had left over from my Peanut Butter Lover’s Reese’s Pieces Cookies I made a few weeks ago.  I thought they would taste wonderful in a banana muffin.  When I mixed up the muffin batter, it looked like it was missing a little something.   I decided to add some semi sweet chocolate chips to the muffins for an extra layer of flavor. Yum!  These moist banana muffins are perfect with the peanut butter and chocolate chips baked into every bite.  These are delicious when they are served warm right out of the oven or made ahead of time and served for breakfast with a cold glass of milk.  So if the bananas on your counter aren’t looking so great, turn them into a yummy breakfast or snack for your family!  These muffins also freeze very well, so bake up a double batch this weekend!
