"These tender, moist banana muffins are packed with three different kinds of goodies: toasted walnuts, cinnamon chips or bits, and chocolate chips. Chocolate and banana? Think banana split, you'll get the picture. After initially posting this recipe and then reading your comments, we've cut back on the sugar a bit. The muffins are even tastier than before, as less sweetness allows the flavors of the other ingredients to shine through...."
