BANANA-CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

             

Here’s a recipe that is sure to become a “regular” at your house!  These muffins are addictive.  Leave off the chocolate chips and/or add nuts if you prefer.  I usually make these and put half in the freezer for those days when someone needs a snack on the go.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

½ cup butter or margarine, softened

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

4 ripe bananas, mashed

2 cups flour

½ t. baking powder

1 t. baking soda

½ t. salt

¾ cup semisweet chocolate mini-morsels

Instructions:

Place cupcake liners into muffin tins (this recipe makes 24 small muffins or 20 large muffins).

Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs, one at a time.  Mash the bananas with a fork and stir into mixture.

Combine flour and next 3 ingredients, gradually add to creamed mixture, beating until blended.  Stir in morsels.  Spoon batter into lined muffin tins or 9x5x3 inch loaf pan (I have also used a bundt cake pan).  Bake at 350 degrees (for 1 hour if using loaf pan) until done.

These muffins freeze well.
