Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins with Streusel Topping

I must say that during this pregnancy one would expect I'd want nothing but sweets.  It's been the total opposite.  I can't get enough fruits and vegetables!  I've been on a banana kick and finally craved something a little sweet over the weekend, so I made some banana muffins.  It was a co-workers birthday so I had to add a few things to make them more scrumptious!  I found a recipe online and loved most of it, aside from the topping since I love the streusel from my Caramel Apple Streusel Muffins I always use it.  It's my goto streusel!




These muffins were incredible!  In fact, I can't wait to make them with other fruits!  What did you crave during pregnancy?
