This Banana Choc Chip Almond Muffin recipe is really quick to prepare. As the recipe suggests you can add nuts, but as one of my kids has braces I didn’t add nuts to the mix, instead I added some flaked almond to the top leaving 2 without nuts especially for her. This recipe is a great recipe for the kids lunch boxes, add frozen to the lunchbox and it will be defrosted by morning tea time.
What I love about this recipe is that it’s versatile, you can add whichever nuts you desire, almonds, hazelnuts, pecans etc. As well as change the chocolate to use white, milk or dark chocolate.
