Tamarack Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Matthew G., Kyle C., and Adam P., this recipe is for you!

When our boys were younger, and we lived on Tamarack Drive, these muffins were on the baking rotation weekly. They are a FAVOURITE for our family and for the three young men named above too! I could not count how many times I have baked these and the purposes they served - baked and iced for school bake sale fundraisers, given as “Get Well” treats, packed in school lunches, picnics, breakfasts on-the-go, a healthy snack before hockey or baseball (with cut up apple!), made when last-minute company was on their way…

So easy to prepare and they bake in 17 minutes. They are best same day fresh and are quickly brought to that same freshness when placed in a 350-degree oven for 5-7 minutes or microwaved for 10 seconds when a couple of days old.

I’m sure these will become your family fav’s as well. xo

As always, when you make these, please post your muffin goodness and tag my IG account or leave a comment with your thoughts!
