Since we’ve been hanging around the old homestead so much these days, we’re looking to be productive – we made muffins with the spotted bananas in the fruit bowl that no one wants to eat. It lessens the guilt for when we binge watch Blue Bloods at night.
- 1 1/3 cups flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350º. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt – set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas and add 1/4 cup of water.
- Stir in oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
- Add flour mixture, until just combined – then stir in chocolate chips.
- Line a baking pan with baking cups, fill each about 3/4 full and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, testing with a toothpick. Makes 16.
