We had a few bananas laying around that looked about ready to be baked so we went on the hunt for a delicious and easy snack recipe. Who can deny the classic call of the chocolate chip banana muffin? We decided to make them bite sized for easy snacking purposes.
What you need:
1 1/2 cups (375mL) all purpose flour
2/3 cup (150mL) Redpath granulated white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons (7mL) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon (1mL) salt
2 large or 3 small/medium ripe bananas, mashed
1 large egg
1/2 cup(125mL) unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp (5mL) vanilla extract
1/4 cup (50mL) milk
1 cup (250mL) semisweet chocolate chips, as well as more for sprinkling
Here’s how you do it!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (176C) Line 12 muffin cups with paper or foil liners.
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the mashed bananas, egg, butter, vanilla extract and milk. Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined (do not overmix). Stir in chocolate chips and don’t be skimpy!
Fill muffin liners about 3/4 full (you can also choose to decrease the number of muffins if you like larger muffins). We sprinkled a few extra chocolate chips on top just to make them extra scrumptious!
Bake for about 32 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center is free of crumbs.
