I love when Chocolate Time rolls around… And guess what?? It’s time. Making up a menu for a Family Gathering (a.k.a. Reunion), my sister-in-law (Hi, Maren!) and I decided on a breakfast of muffins. Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, to be specific.
Mmm… muffins.
Tasty. Portable. Perfect (when they have chocolate in ‘em!).
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 cups mashed banana (about 6)
½ cup milk
4 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In large bowl, beat butter until pale and creamy. Add sugar and mix well.
Add mashed bananas, milk, and eggs; beat until well blended.
Add flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, stirring just until blended.
Add chocolate chips (and nuts if used).
Line muffin tin with paper baking cups, spoon 3 Tbsp batter into cups. Bake for 15–18 minutes. Remove from pans immediately.
YIELD: 2 dozen
