Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Banana chocolate chip muffins are a great way to use up ripe bananas. These muffins are moist, yummy and made without butter. That was the first reason to pick the recipe. Though bakes with butter tastes lot tastier, in muffins I don’t mind oil at all.

Few years ago I was part of a baking group called sweet and simple bakes. I joined the group late and also missed some baking some of the bakes even after joining the group. The bakes from this group were simple and delicious at the same time. Today’s bake is one of the bakes I missed baking with the group. I am glad I finally got to bake these. Mr. U is not really a muffins person and he ate 4 of the 6 muffins 😮 . Since I have lot of baking to do this month, I made ½ the recipe. If you have any ripe bananas, do try this recipe and it sure is a keeper!

1 ½ Ripe Bananas (medium to large size)
60 - 65 ml Vegetable Oil

¼ tsp. Baking Soda
½ tsp. Baking Powder

Line a muffin pan with muffin liners.
Mash bananas and keep aside.
In a small bowl take oil, egg and beat lightly using a whisk.
In another large bowl take flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and mix well to incorporate all the dry ingredients.
Pour egg oil mixture and whisk to mix in the wet ingredients.
Add mashed bananas and whisk to incorporate to the muffin batter.
When all the ingredients are blended in, fold in chocolate morsels.
Pour equal quantities of batter into prepared muffin pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, let sit for 2-4 minutes, remove the muffins and cool on a wire rack.
Once cool, store in an airtight container. These stay fresh for at least 1 ½ days at room temperature.

Note:

I used semi sweet chocolate chip morsels but can use dark or white chocolate chips/morsels or butterscotch chips/morsels.
Temperatures vary from oven to oven. Depending on the oven, you may have to bake a few minutes less or longer than the required bake time.
