Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins-makes 20

I am not sure which website I picked up this recipe from, so unfortunately I am unable to provide

credit to the correct person(s). If you are the person whose recipe this is, please let me know and I

will update this post and link your website for the recipe.

However, this is the slightly modified Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe I use frequently to use
up the bananas that sit a little too long on the counter. If I don’t have enough bananas to make this
recipe, I just peel and freeze the bananas until I have enough. This recipe has turned out to be a
family favorite.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (Mini Chips work best)

1 egg

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Imitation Vanilla works fine in this recipe)

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (About 3 medium bananas; I just roughly measure.)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. i

sift the dry ingredients to produce a softer batter.

Then add chocolate chips. Stir the chocolate chips into the batter in order to prevent them from

sinking to the bottom of the batter.

2. In another bowl, combine the egg, oil, yogurt and vanilla. Add bananas.

3. Stir banana mixture into dry ingredients just until moistened. The mixture will be very thick.

4. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 (17)

minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire

racks.

The Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins will freeze very well, so if this recipe make too many for your

family then you can freeze them once cooled.

WARNING- My 11 year boy can eat an entire batch in 1 sitting, if I would let him.

Keeping Cool Without an AC- Part 5

The news is full of headlines indicating that energy shortages are on the horizon for most of the world. Over the decades, we have become reliant on the coolness of our air conditioners and have forgotten how we survived without them. It is now time to rediscover how to stay cool without our AC. Our 5 part series provides ideas on how to beat the heat this summer without the AC. House Adjustments- Part 2 By placing house plants, such as English ivy, ficus, and spider plants, throughout your home, you can drop the overall temperature of your house by 10 degrees. In addition, house plants are air purifiers and add oxygen to your home. For quick relief, create a personal mister to help drop the temperature of your skin: thus making you feel colder. Some people combine a spray bottle and a fan to create a cooling effect. However, I use just the spray bottle with cold water throughout the day and it keeps me cool. In addition, we use coo...

The Frugal Five is a series where we celebrate the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life. 1- “Potluck” lunch At work this week, we are having a potluck appetizer/dessert party for a colleague’s 60th birthday. Everyone is expected to bring an appetizer or dessert for the party. Since there will be a lot of food provided by everyone, I am not bringing my lunch that day and will eat from whatever people have brought.
