This is another impromptu cake I just made up and it didn’t embarrass me. I saw the bananas which are started to go black, and decided to use them in what I do best: muffins! I also added the chocolate chips I just bought from the coffee shop near my house (I usually use chopped chocolate instead of chocolate-chips, but the seller in the coffee shop insisted me to buy the chocolate chips and I wanted to test them). I didn’t want to add sugar into the cake, so I used honey. I don’t usually use honey in my cakes, but this time it really worked and the muffins were neither too sweet nor vapid. This has become one my favorite muffin recipes!
