EGG-FREE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BANANA MUFFINS

Egg-Free Double Chocolate Banana Muffins image

I am always looking to use up the brown bananas on my counter. My usual go-to was banana nut bread, but when my youngest developed an egg allergy I had to come up with something different. Since bananas and chocolate are so good together I decided to make these muffins. You would never be able to tell they are egg-free. -Danielle Siero, Farmington, Michigan
