LOVE LOVE these banana bread muffins that absolutely made my house smell like it’s a nice sunny morning with cardamom aroma everywhere and my mum making chai and it’s PERFECT.
As always banana bread recipes come up when we have ripe banana lying on the counter and thats what happened with this recipe too. I had two ripe bananas ( cause I froze the others and this is one snack I ALWAYS have in the freezer or in the fridge because it’s the easiest thing my husband has without fussing. So I threw together some cardamom -chocolate-y and delicious muffins and shared them on my Instagram stories and WHELP! I woke up with 20 DMs asking about the recipe.

I made them twice already last week and with two trials I perfected the recipe or at least as perfect as a recipe can get – every dish has a life of it’s own!
These babies are delicious, healthy, portable AND work perfect with chai or coffee ( you the trend to add cardamom to whipped coffee is catching on)
You can always substitute the chocolate chip muffins with raisins or nuts that you like.
