BANANA CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Čokoladni mafini so nekaj s čimer ne moreš zgrešiti in ni osebe, ki jih ne bi marala. Sama vedno govorim, da ne maram banan v sladicah, a nekako pa so le-te tiste, ki jih najpogosteje pripravljam. Razlog temu je, da mi vedno ostajajo banane, ki pa se hitro zmehčajo in tako postanejo idealne za sladice. Ponovno se je tako zgodilo neki dan, ko mi je cel šop banan ostal na pultu in sem razmišljala kaj naj storim z njimi. Nisem želela pripraviti običajnih bananinih mafinov, a misel na čokolado, me je navduševala, zato sem se odločila za kombinacijo obojega.

You can't go wrong with chocolate muffins and I don't think there is anyone who wouldn't like them. I keep saying I don't like bananas in desserts but somehow I keep making only those, but the reason for that is that I keep having ripped bananas hanging on top of my counter and I don't know where else to use them. The same situation happened to me the other day so I was wondering if I should prepare banan bread again or maybe try something new, so I went with banana chocolate chip muffins instead.
