Blueberry Banana Muffins - Sub out the chocolate chips for 1 cup of fresh blueberries. Banana Nut Muffins - My favourite nut paired with banana muffins are walnuts! Add 3/4 cup of toasted walnuts. Spiced up Banana Muffins - Add cinnamon and nutmeg to the flour mixture. Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Plain Banana Muffins - Omit Chocolate Chips and keep the banana muffin classic. Banana Cupcakes - Add your favourite buttercream icing and turn your banana muffins into cupcakes! Maple buttercream icing would be a perfect addition!
