I just made these yummy muffins....they're so good!!

     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, 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!!) ...

...Banana Chip Muffins and they are so good!!
Just in case you have a bowl of rotting bananas, here is the recipe - 

Banana Chip Muffins

1 3/4 cups flour

1/2 cup white sugar

3 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1 egg

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 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 3/4 full and bake in 400 degree F. oven for 20 -25 minutes.
