Today I had some bananas that were getting over ripe. Usually I make banana bread or peel the bananas and freeze them for future banana breads. I love banana bread…but, quite frankly, today the thought of another one just held no appeal..
So, I headed off to look through my trusty cookbooks. Several hours later I emerged from a pile of cookbooks, recipe cards and magazines and asked myself…what was I looking for?? Oh yes, something to do with the dreaded, rotting bananas.
So, once again I dove in and started looking for a banana recipe, this time I vowed to focus and not become distracted by all those recipes, tips, and cooking techniques!! lol
This is the final result (minus 1 muffin…… you must have quality control!) …

Just in case you have a bowl of rotting bananas, here is the recipe -
- 1¾ cups flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- 3 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup milk or buttermilk
- 3 medium bananas, mashed
- Place first 5 ingredients in a large bowl, whisk well to combine. Make a well in the centre.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg until frothy. Mix in oil, milk and bananas.
- Pour into well in first bowl. Stir gently to moisten.
- Fill greased muffin tins ¾ full
- Bake in 400 degree F. oven for 20 -25 minutes.
- Makes 10 – 12 large muffins.
- YUMMY!!
