Tang-Y Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

CulinaryExplorer's Note:

I had a moment of brilliance and came up with these little gems one night. You don't really even have to like tang to like these muffins. They have a very light and airy texture and taste a bit like orange cream, only so much better with the chocolate and bananas too.

I've never made a muffin that was this moist, light, and airy before.. the texture was just to die for! I really enjoyed the taste as well, definitely Tang-y! They were more orangey than banana-y. I love Tang, so that was good for me, but I think others who do not love Tang as much should be cautious. Thanks for a great breakfast!
