Banana Chocolate Chip muffins

[sila-lumenn.livejournal.com]

Remember my disaster muffins from this weekend? Well, I found a new recipe and decided to give it a try. I had some bananas that were going to go to waste if I didn't do something with them and this was perfect. They were so yummy! Oh, I didn't have any nuts, so I left them out. I'll put them in next time, but the recipe didn't suffer at all from the omission.

BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2)
2 eggs
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

In a medium bowl, beat together banana, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Stir in banana mixture until just blended. Spoon into muffin tins sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350F 25-30 minutes, or until done. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack. Makes approximately 18 muffins.

I don't like bananas (to be honest, the smell alone makes me sick to my stomach) but my husband, some of my friends and my brother are really really fond of them, so maybe I'll bake these muffins someday for them. If one of them is willing to mash the bananas, that is :)

Aren't you sweet! I'm sure everyone will appreciate your gesture. Be sure your bananas are almost too ripe. The riper the banana, the easier to mash (and the sweeter the taste!).

Yummy! I make those too, but I cheat and take muffins mix and add bits of chocolate and bits of banana. Shame on me, now I know how to do it for real.
