Easy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins!

Easy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe!

We are on our second full week of COVID-19 quarantine, no school, non-essential businesses closed, life completely disrupted. Although it’s been quite the adjustment for everyone and we’re all anxious and fearful for the pandemic that is Coronavirus, I’m grateful that I can be home with my kids during this time.

Our attempt at homeschooling has been … interesting. I wish I had words of wisdom or could share a routine or regimen that’s been working, but really, we are in survival mode. Lots of grace, choosing to not fight every battle and doing things together that we enjoy, one of them is baking!

Leona, age 6, loves to bake. It was a nice late morning activity to do after an attempt at homeschooling.

These banana chocolate chip muffins are super easy to make, depending on the age of your kid you can make it an educational activity too. For younger ones it’s a great opportunity to focus on fine motor skills such as measuring, leveling, pouring, cracking eggs, etc. This is a recipe that you really only need one bowl for, it’s super easy, relatively healthy and these freeze well for later!
