Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

June 12, 2013 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 28 Comments

Like most posts, the food has nothing to do with the written content, so let’s do food first. Chocolate chip banana  muffins – make this for breakfast. It has fruit in it—go ahead. Seriously, breakfast might be the only meal in which you can get away with basically eating cake. And that is exactly why it’s my favorite meal.

Who needs lunch or dinner when you can do brunch or brinner? More of that shoddy logic I’m always pushing on you guys.

While we are discussing my shortcomings, let’s talk about my little guy’s big “promotion day”. He finished kindergarten yesterday. Please don’t fillet me when I say, I’m not one of those parents who makes a big production out of it. 

Sure the school can by holding Safari Day—it’s a big celebration in which there are games and activity stations set up for the kidlets. And sure they might have sent out a notice stating (in bold) “We need all parents to volunteer and assist”.

Well I missed it. No big deal, because, “Hello, I was working!” And I was certain not every parent would make it – who wouldn’t make this guilt-mitigating assumption?

My bad. When I asked the little guy how Safari Day went, he very frankly answered, “It was so fun—and Mom, everyone’s parents were there except mine.”

Wow. Awesome Mom Failing #106 or something like that. (In his father’s defense, Matt is still recovering from surgery).

. . . But let’s gloss over my failed parent participation and have some Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.

    oh shoot. that stuff is hard Naomi. We all question our choices all the time, but we are just trying to do the best we can as parents, and it is not always easy. Your muffins are beautiful 🙂

    Gorgeous muffins and inviting photography, Naomi! I love that you use a 1:1 ratio of butter to oil in your recipe, as do I, for the moistest muffins. Don’t fret too much about your little guy. So long as he knows you love him, he will be more than A-OK. Maybe even more self-reliant and assured as he grows up. There’s something to be said for that! xo

    The balance of life and work is often so much more complicated than they say. My parents used to miss my events too but I knew they still loved me. I sure your little boy feels the same. Wonderfully shaped muffins by the way!

    I’m all about “cake” for breakfast! Don’t beat yourself up, I don’t know how you juggle all that you do and stay sane…I know your little guy is well-loved and well-fed!

    Mmmm, these look good! It’s like mini banana bread for dessert! And I empathize with you about the Safari Day. I don’t have any kids, but I don’t know how schools expect parents to volunteer and make money to support the family?

  6. Aimee @ Simple Bites says

    Ouch! With three kids, I am always missing something. I can’t keep up. But when I am present, we try to have the best time possible! Right? Right. xxo

    That said, my boys would definitely categorize these muffins under a ‘good time’.

    Yum! I would definitely have these for my breakfast! 🙂

    Oh ouch! If it makes you feel any better I would have made the same assumption, how did they all get the day off?!

    Gorgeous. I have some bananas just starting at me, waiting to me made into these muffins.

    This flavor combo is the best!

    I would certainly eat these for ‘brinner” or any other time and feel confident your son won’t be scarred by your missing of Safari Day. There are hundreds of school events lying in wait between Safari Day and the true graduation for you to make it up!

    These muffins look wonderful! And congratulations to your little guy! I’m sure he’ll forgive you 🙂

    Congrats to your little guy! Sorry you couldn’t make it. But dude, these muffins totally make up for it. At least for me it does!

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there.
