Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe

Dear Readers,

I’ve been doing most of the food features throughout this year. It’s been a blast getting to explore new recipes and photograph them. I wanted to close out my final food feature with my favorite banana chocolate chip muffin recipe. I found this recipe on Pinterest over two years ago. The recipe is from a little blog called How to be Lovely. Since then, I’ve brought them to show choir, cross-country, the musical, and various other practices. Sometimes I just bring them to school and whoever finds me first gets one. These muffins have been a fun way for me to connect with others. I hope they continue to be made and passed out in the City High hallways in the coming years. So, without further ado, here is the recipe!
