recipe | banana chocolate chip muffins

banana chocolate chip muffins... I've never been a super huge fan of muffins. Too often I find them dry and crumbly. I'm in constant search for a healthy, tasty treat for my boys. After trying dozens of different muffin recipes, I think I've found a winner. King Arthur's Banana Chocolate Chip muffins are easy to make and delicious to eat. Best of all, these muffins are anything but dry.

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Yield: 18 muffins

1/2 c unsalted butter


1 cup granulated sugar


1 large egg


1 tsp vanilla


2 medium ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 c milk


1 c whole wheat flour


1 c unbleached all-purpose flour


1 1/2 tsp baking powder


1/2 tsp baking soda


1/2 tsp salt


3/4 c chocolate chips


Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar till they're smooth. Beat in the egg, flavoring, banana and milk. 

In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, then gently stir them into the butter mixture. Spoon the batter into 18 regular-sized lightly greased muffin cups. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of one comes out clean. Remove them from the oven, and after 10 minutes turn them out of the pan to cool.
