Fudgy Banana Muffins

Submitted by MarieRynr

"We love the flavour combination of chocolate and banana. Once when I had no chocolate chips on hand, I made these moist muffins with chunks of chocolate bars instead. My husband likes them even better this way, since they have big bites of chocolate."

11/08: Updating my review with an added star because: I just made these again and, to cut fat/calories, I used only 3 chocolate bars instead of 6 (put 1 piece in each muffin instead of 2 and still sprinkled the remainder on top). They were still oh-so-delicious!!! And now, they're only 3 WW points each! ______________ Okay, imagine biting into the sweet banana muffin and hitting CHUNKS of chocolate. We're not talking chocolate CHIPS, here - there's MAJOR banana/chocolate balance. YUM, YUM, YUM!
