HOSTESS AT HEART RECEIVED SOME AMAZING PRODUCTS WHEN PRODUCING THIS POST BUT ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.
I love something sweet to eat when I make something savory. These Sweet Magnolia Banana Chocolate Chip Espresso Muffins filled that craving deliciously!
Do you ever wonder who named some of the food we make and eat? Say the muffin. What is the food rule that says it’s not a cupcake? Since it’s politically correct to have a muffin for breakfast and not a cupcake I think it came from someone wanting cupcakes for breakfast. What do you think? I think I love muffins, especially these Sweet Magnolia Banana Chocolate Chip Espresso Muffins!
I brainstormed for a month on what I wanted to make for #Choctoberfest. With over 70 bloggers and close to 200 recipes, that was no easy feat! I also wanted to use as many of the wonderful products that were provided by our sponsors such as gold sponsor Imperial Sugar, Rodelle, and Davis Chocolate.
I turned to one of my favorite cookbooks, “Toast to Omaha” presented by the Junior League of Omaha in 2006, which was a gift from my Mother-In-Law.
This book is a compilation of some of the most coveted recipes from Omaha restaurants, many of which are now gone.
My book doesn’t give the history of this recipe but I can only imagine that it came from a hotel called The Magnolia.
This muffin is so good. It is tender and moist like a cupcake but doesn’t need a glaze or frosting to bump it up.
The espresso and the cocoa are a match made in culinary heaven. We love the flavors so much we added them to our Cappuccino Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe too!
I made a batch of my Ham and Bean Soup with these muffins on the side and it made for a delicious dinner!
They would also make a great addition to brunch or even an afternoon snack.
Baking with bananas makes tender and moist recipes.

Nice combination of ingredients. I think that the taste will be definitely perfect)
Thank you! We really enjoyed them. They weren’t heavy like some muffins but not overly sweet like a cupcake either.
I looooove muffins, any and all of them. I think you’re right–someone wanted cake for breakfast and just changed the name to make it OK, haha :). These look awesome, Julie!
Thanks Kelsie! It could have been my idea but someone older and smarter did it first!
What a treat! These muffins sounds delicious and they look amazing! 🙂
Thank you Petra! I was just thinking that I had to stop over and visit you!
🙂 It is that time of the week! Not sure where time goes, I was already thinking of my Christmas menu the other day, a little sad I felt! 🙂
I hear you Petra! Time is marching on to quickly!
Yum yum and yum!
Thank you, Mimi!
Espresso and chocolate are perfect in a muffin – I just made a cake with the same combination. Moist and delicious your muffins must be – I could eat these any time of the day 🙂 By the way Rodelle advertised in Bake from Scratch Holiday Cookies as I never heard of the company before. The Bake From Scratch is an excellent, professional magazine if you are interested. I love it and I’m not the baker like you are. Always interesting and different recipes to try 🙂
I love the magazine too Judi! I’ve actually been using Rodelle for a couple of years because it’s available at Costco and you can tell it’s got a lot of cocoa butter in it. Do you have that cake posted on your site? I’m sure it’s amazing!
I will keep an eye out for it as I don’t have a membership with Costco. I will post the cake soon!
Thank you, Judi!
Wow, what an awesome combination!
Thank you, Antonia! We loved them.
