Banana Muffins (with or without chocolate chips)



What you need,

1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1½ tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup mashed banana (about 3 small bananas)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla
¼ cup chocolate chips

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray and set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a separate bowl whisk the eggs, buttermilk, banana, oil and vanilla together.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.

Divide half of the batter into 6 of the muffin cups.

Stir the chocolate chips into the remaining batter. Divide the rest of the batter between the other 6 muffin cups.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until muffins are golden brown a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store the muffins in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Also these muffins freeze really well, just wrap each cooled muffin tightly in saran wrap and toss into a large zip top bag. When you want one just pop one out of the freezer!
