Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

A few weeks ago, my dad, the baker in the family, brought me some muffins - Banana Chocolate Chip. They were delicious! Good enough for breakfast, but sweet enough to feel like a treat. So when I was craving them this week, I decided to make them on my own.

I know, I don't bake, but these were really easy and well worth all the measuring that I hate!

The recipe can be found on the All Recipes web site - Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 c all purpose flour
• 3/4 c sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 1/2 c vegetable oil
• 1/2 c plain yogurt - I used sour cream instead
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 c mashed ripe bananas - this was 3 bananas
• 3/4 c semisweet chocolate chips - I used Ghiardelli chocolate chips

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
• In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients - egg, oil, yogurt (sour cream), and vanilla
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until moistened
• Fold in the bananas and chocolate chips
• Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full
• Bake at 350 for 22-25 minutes (mine cooked exactly 22 minutes) or until a toothpick comes out clean
• Cool for 5 minutes before removing from tins to a cooling rack

This recipe made 16 muffins that were great for breakfast all week. Jon asked me to make them every week!
