Recipe: Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

My days have been spent doing chores, looking for jobs I can apply to, looking for things I can rearrange, clean random parts of our tiny townhouse, play with Fox and wait for the weekend so Ron's home all day. I've also been baking a lot and here is another of my recipe tests. ;) This recipe is like making banana muffins but with chocolate, meaning it's easy, simple and delicious. Like I said, if you're a newb, start with baking muffins.

These muffins were so moist, and are best served warm. It's good as is but warming it up a bit adds delight to the chocolatey experience.

You don't need anything special for this recipe either, this one uses very common pantry items. You just have to make sure that you're not out of any of them yet! :) Now let me barrage you with pictures followed by the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup baking cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/3 cups mashed ripe bananas (approx 3 large bananas)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients.
2. In a small bowl, combine bananas, oil and egg.
3. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
4. Fold in chocolate chips.
5. Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups three fourths full.
6. Bake at 350 deg F for 20-25 minutes for regular muffins, 10-12 minutes for mini muffins or until muffins test done.

I was able to make 24 mini muffins and 6 regular muffins with the recipe.

Recipe: Easy Banana Muffin Recipe

I have really been in a muffin baking kind of mood lately. They're one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast and thinking that I got some fruit in my diet somewhere makes me feel better about my bad eating habits. LOL Whenever people say that if you'd like to learn how to bake, start with cookies, I cringe a little. I'm no expert but I really think people should start with muffins. So if you're a newb, here's a five-star almost fool-proof recipe that I found through Google that I'd like to share with you. It also has a crumbly top that will make the muffins look professionally baked! ;)

You'll need your measuring cups and spoons and two mixing bowls. You don't really need a KitchenAid mixer, it is just very convenient. If you don't have a mixer, using a spatula or a wooden spoon should be fine.
