When Overly Ripe Bananas Meet Chocolate Chips in Muffin Form

by Ashley on November 5, 2011

Banana bread/muffins are by far one of my favorite foods to eat (along with a bazillion other things).  It’s even better when some semi sweet chocolate chips are added to the mix.  Chocolate makes everything better, right? ;)  

 

Last night I noticed some way overly ripe bananers in the refrigerator, and I immediately knew I was going to make some banana muffins.  Then I remembered we had some chocolate chips in the pantry.  Mhmm banana chocolate chip muffins it was.

 

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Servings: 12 regular sized muffins

Prep Time:  10 minutes

Cook Time: 18 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup all natural unsweetened applesauce
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 overly ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees and cover a muffin pan with cooking spray.

2.  Place all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl.

 

3.  Use a hand mixer to blend ingredients together.

 

4.  Stir in chocolate chips with spatula.

 

5.  Pour batter into muffin pan, filling each muffin hole about 2/3 full.

6.  Bake in oven for 18 minutes.

7.  Let cool and enjoy these delicious babies!

I don’t know about where you are, but it’s snowing and freezing here today so it’d be the perfect day to make a batch (or five) of these delicious muffins.  If it’s not snowing or freezing where you are, pretend it is.  And get to baking. ;)

These look delicious! I love baking with overripe bananas, they are so sweet! We haven’t been buying that many since the hubs has slowed his banana consumption, but I’m really missing having the overripe ones around for baking and smoothies :)

By the way, I’d totally forgotten a banana was 2 servings of fruit until I read your post the other week. Thanks for the reminder!
