I want to make these! Banana chocolate chip is one of my favorite muffins. I can only imagine how amazing that combo is with dulce de leche! YUM!
Hope you enjoy Melissa!
This is a win-win-win combo. And I’m with you, that brand of dulce de leche is awesome.
I need those bright, cheery baking cups in my life.
Thanks so much Becky! Aren’t those baking cups adorable?!
Fabulous! This looks wonderful.
The dulce de leche in these is such a fabulous idea! They look amazing!
Yum! So unique.
How fabulous would it be to wake up to a batch of these muffins! Love dulce de leche!
Wow. YUM! I love anything banana flavored and you’ve got a genius with this pairing.
Mmmm these sound so yummy!!
Jenny-this are crazy awesome. I love bananas and dulce de leche combined. WOW.
These sound amazing, I love banana and chocolate so why not add some dulce de leche too?! I will definitely be making these! 😀
What an amazing recipe! Can’t wait to try these and to visit your friend’s etsy shop – adorable!
My mouth is watering!

Oh my these look amazing!!! Cannot wait for some overripe bananas!!
Gorgeous! The dulce de leche is the perfect addition!
These sound lovely, and the baking cupcakes are lovely too. Please could I ask where you got them from? Thank you.
What a unique muffin, and they look perfectly cute too – I love it!
the cupcake liners are too cute!
Great morning treat!
These muffins look amazing. And those cute little baking cups? How adorable are those cuties!?!
All these flavors sound amazing in one amazing muffin! Hope you are doing great Jenny! XO
Lovely! I would give my left arm for one of these this morning–looks so good!
I honestly sometimes hope for overripe bananas to bake with but it rarely happens anymore with 3 hungry kids around! These are the perfect way to wake up and get going. I might have to hide a few bananas to make something soon. 🙂
An afternoon treat or a decadent breakfast (for us adults ;-)). This looks so wonderful!
Dulce de leche would add an amazing flavour to these muffins!
Okay so I was already totally down with chocolate and banana muffins for breakfast, but dulce de leche?! Whole new level. These look divine (and those muffin cups are so cheery and cute).
Those look incredible! I love the cute little muffin cups too 🙂
I love the use of the baking cups. I have tons of them that I’ve ordered from Pick Your Plum where they’re considered nut cups. I’ve never used them for anything, but had to have them!!! I like the idea of baking with them. So much prettier and sturdier than regular cupcake liners. The muffins sound delicious. I already love chocolate and bananas together and dulce de leche can only make them better.
I want these NOW!!! How stinkin gorgeous and delicious! 🙂
These look delicious! I also love the muffin cups. Can’t wait to check out the rest of the stuff in the etsy shop. Seems like I’m always in the process of planning the next birthday party!
Sugar, chocolate, and butter. Perfect breakfast food. 🙂 Are those muffin cups paper or some other kind of material?
I love the pretty yellow cups, Jenny! And all those mini choc chips! I love banana bread in any way, shape or form..and with dulce de leche, how delish!
These sound delicious! I adore dulche de leche! 🙂
I love anything with dulce de leche but add bananas and I am all over it! Beautiful photos and lovely recipe as always Jenny!
