Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

And so my banana recycling continues…I'm slowly but surely making my way through a freezer of over-ripe bananas. Thankfully, bananas are very versatile when it comes to baking and can add moisture and flavour to just about anything.

So I made banana muffins the other night. There isn’t really much else to say about it except that they were scrumptious. Mainly because I also added chocolate chips.

Bananas and chocolate were meant to be. Don’t fight it.

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
(Adapted from Cat Can Cook’s Awesome Banana Muffin recipe)

Ingredients:

3-4 large bananas, mashed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1½ cups flour
1 cup (or so…) chocolate chips


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and butter together and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until moistened (don’t overmix!). Fold in chocolate chips.


Pour into paper-lined muffin tins and bake for approximately 20 minutes.


Enjoy!!
