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.

Menu Planning #132

Our meals need to be nutritious, clean, flexible, quick and cost effective. Between our work schedules and after school activities, we need to carefully plan our meals so that we do not end up ordering out.   The news is very scary at this time because of all the news of meat plants shutting down, grocery stories limiting the amount of meat a family can purchase and all of the talk about a depression on the horizon.    We have decided to keep our grocery budget the same, but to economize any way we can.     This week we tried to pick up some shrimp that was on sale, but the store was out of shrimp and not expecting to get any more in.    We were grateful to find wild caught salmon for the same price, so we picked that up instead for our Mother’s Day Dinner.    What did we spend?  Week 1: $96.44 Kroger: $96.44 Rebates: $3.55 IBOTTA: $1.35 Kroger Cash: $0.45 Checkout 51: $1.75 ...
