The other day I found myself with three bunches of overripe bananas. Though we go through the bananas quickly around here, we can only make so many smoothies, only have so much freezer space, and I can only eat so many bananas.

That’s when I decided to bake something. I’m not much of a baker, so it had to be simple. That’s when I found this recipe for Simple Vegan Chocolate Chip Muffins. I hadn’t made muffins in the longest time, we had just received a new muffin pan as a wedding gift, and it would be the perfect way to use up some of the bananas – muffins it was.

These Banana Dark Chocolate Chip muffins are vegan, made with simple ingredients, and only take about 30 minutes to make from start to finish. They can also be made gluten free – just substitute whole wheat flour for your favorite gluten free flour blend.
