Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

7 Dec

Crappy work week = comfort food jones.

I met Maris at BlogHer. She writes In Good Taste which is all about food. While I love food, I’m not good at making food, so I read food blogs with a mix of jealousy and hunger.

Earlier this week, Maris posted a recipe for banana chocolate chip muffins and I thought, hey…I can do that!

And look!

Muffins!

A few changes I made:

  • I did not make her healthy substitutions, because I didn’t have apple sauce or wheat flour.
  • My 3 bananas provided me with a little less than 2 cups of mashed bananas.
  • I don’t have a muffin pan so I used a silicone cupcake pan. This recipe yielded 18 mini muffins.
  • I hate my silicone cupcake pan because things take longer to bake in it. So I baked them for 25 minutes.

An added benefit: It’s 30 degrees with 20 mph winds tonight, so the oven is helping warm the apartment!

Thanks, Maris!

    Yum. I actually have some bananas that are turning a not so lovely shade of brown AND leftover chocolate chips from yesterdays cookie baking! Hmmmm…. Yum.

    Mmm… I love chocolate chip banana muffins. A mini would never do for me, though – I always make mine oversized, in the pan you gave me for Christmas! :)
