Ugh. Monday after the end of a 10-day Florida vacation. You came too soon. Where is a gallon-sized cup of coffee when you need it?! Cause I need it and now.

So just to quickly update you: We got in from Orlando yesterday evening and I’m currently chilling at my sister’s house in Topeka, Kansas. This afternoon I’m hopping on a short flight back to Wisconsin and back to reality..

Anyway, it was an awesome trip and I thank you all for bearing with me through my slight absence the past few weeks! Did you catch any of the fun on Instagram? I got to meet Anna and Elsa and have breakfast with Disney princesses. Be JEALOUS!

Okay, I think that’s pretty much the brief on the state of things in Sarah’s world right now. Shall we move onto our Muffin Monday business?

So I’m just a teensy bit partial to banana bread in the form of muffins, filled with all the gooey chocolate, and sprinkled to death with all the buttery streusel. That’s just how I roll.

Would you expect any less on a Monday? I mean, really. We are so doing Muffin Monday today. Prepare because awesome stuff is about to hit your tastebuds in the face.

Ka-BOOM. You should really wipe that chocolate off your face. It’s kinda rude to walk around with food all over your face. People tend to judge you harshly for that certain offense.

These muffins are a mash-up of several fabulous things: Obviously banana bread, hence the title. THIS banana bread to be exact. Somehow it finally worked its way into my muffins along with a ton of chocolate and a slightly-insane amount of streusel.

And I do mean INSANELY huge amount….

We don’t go all light on the streusel around here, folks. Streusel-less muffins are for the WIMPS.

My siblings have called these “the best muffins ever.” That’s saying a lot because I subject those (poor?) kids to a HUGE multitude of muffins. Speaking of which….

Can we talk about the glorious smells that emit from your kitchen while these muffins do their magic in the oven? The smell of these muffins baking seriously smells like the bananas came to life and took over the kitchen.

Obviously with their partners-in-crime the chocolate and streusel.

The taste of these muffins, warm from the oven and exploding with gooey chocolate and buttery streusel seriously tastes like you died and went to banana bread heaven.

My, gosh….♥♥ That split-open muffin photo gets me every time.

They’re seriously SO freaking soft inside and jam-packed with the ‘nanners flavor in every.single luscious bite.  Banana bread in the form of muffins is where it’s at now, friends.

Sink your teeth into that.  You’re really, really going to love it.

Yes ma’am, my first choice of heaven for sure. 😉

Come to think of it, one of these muffins would REALLY hit the spot right about now. You know, to go with my gallon-sized cup of coffee and everything.

You’d think my big sister would have one of those XL coffee cups lying around her house….she’s kinda the biggest coffee-addict you’ll ever meet. No doubt about it that we’re sisters.

I’ll have to get her one for her next birthday.

In the meantime, YOU really need to get onboard the banana bread muffin bandwagon and make these muffins. Uh, if not now then sometime in the next minute and not a second later.

Geez, am I pushy much? Yes and for the very best of reasons. 😉

    You made my day with the amazingness of these muffins. I miss making streusel muffins so it reminds me to get back to baking again. I adore muffins with bananas and chocolate and a streusel topping is really the icing on the cake. Well done

    I run a daycare and have heard “Let It Go” more times than anyone can possibly count! 🙂 These muffins look absolutely delicious, and I don’t think there is such a thing as too much streusel.

    I love banana muffins too! And adding Greek yogurt to banana muffins is a great trick for keeping them very moist. I hope you had a great time in Disney! I’d love to go someday….What plug-in do you use for your popular posts in your sidebar? It looks nice and clean!

    Your trip to Florida looked so fun! I’ve never been to Disneyworld. Disneyland was a much easier destination for us here in California. But Disneyworld is even bigger and better! These banana muffins look TOO good! I love the chocolate chips and that streusel topping is simply perfection : )
