Banana Chocolate Chip Pecan Muffins for the Road (or maybe not)

November 28, 2020 by Empty Nester Leave a Comment

I had three overripe bananas on the counter. Since LC is heading back to college tomorrow and JD is heading back to Springfield, I thought I’d make some banana muffins. I asked LC if he wanted chocolate chips or pecans in them. He said both.

The muffins are cooling on the counter right now. One is already gone. So I’m not sure any of these will actually make it on the road with my traveling boys. But that’s OK if they enjoy them here also.

Banana Chocolate Chip Pecan Muffins

These banana muffins are a perfect snack or breakfast for your busy college student. The chocolate and pecan add extra comfort to this sweet treat.
