Shutterfly provided product for me and product for giveaway. 

These Double Chocolate Banana Oat Muffins are a perfect quick breakfast or relax and enjoy your favorite morning beverage in a personalized mug!

Fall officially started this week, which means school is in full swing and chillier mornings are upon us. For most, that means curling up with a hot cup of coffee. I have to admit, I'm not a coffee drinker, but I do love a good hot chocolate. They make a ton of flavored hot chocolates that I can pop in my single-serve coffee maker. My husband, Tom, he's the coffee drinker around here.

Through the years I've bought several personalized mugs for Tom. They make great gifts that someone can really appreciate. I've never purchase one for myself though. Tom got me one when Owen was a baby or maybe just before Owen arrived (I would have to go check). Either way, it's been quite awhile since I got a mug upgrade.

When Shutterfly offered to send me a personalized photo mug, I jumped at the opportunity to design my own! Shutterfly has a ton of amazing designs you can choose from including different colors inside the mug and on the handle. It's the perfect amount of pop! I knew immediately I was going to get the pink for my mug's inside and handle. For my mug design, I chose a simple filmstrip design and made my photos black and white. I love it!

And now for those yummy Double Chocolate Banana Oat Muffins!

These are delicious and you're going to want more than one!

Charlie's pretty sure these are chocolate cupcakes and I'm certainly not going to argue with him over that.

Now, after I take Charlie to the bus stop in the morning, I can come back home and enjoy a little treat for myself (and probably share with Owen). And a cup of whatever I want in this beautiful mug. I mean, who wouldn't want a mug with these cuties on it?

    Just made these muffins. They are good, a bit bland maybe. Next I will add a bit more cocoa and brown sugar. Thanks for the recipe.

      I agree 100%. Wish I had read your comment before making these. But at least my bananas didn’t go to waste.
