INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS
- bananas - it's important to use ripened bananas for this recipe. Using bananas that haven't reached the stage where they have browned and softened will significantly change the flavour and sweetness. Medium-sized bananas is what I use.
- cooking oil - use whatever vegetable oil that you have on hand
- milk - I usually have 1% milk in the house and use it in all of my muffin recipes. You could substitute 2% or whole milk as well.
- eggs - large eggs are used in this recipe
INSTRUCTIONS
Take eggs, butter and measured milk out of the refrigerator 30-60 minutes before baking. This will ensure soft, fluffy muffins
In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and chocolate chips
Make a well in the centre.
In a separate small mixing bowl, beat the egg.
Add in oil, milk and mashed bananas.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir only to moisten with as few strokes as possible.
The batter will be lumpy as pictured below.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffins tins ¾ full.
Bake at 400F oven for 20 minutes.Muffins will be lightly browned and cook through. Test with a toothpick.
STORAGE & FREEZING
Cool muffins completely and store in a covered container or zippered bag at room temperature. They will remain fresh for a few days. Pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up and enjoy those melty chocolate chips.
