Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Muffins!!!

I'm kind of obsessed with food, so I will be posting recipes on here once in a while (this qualifies as one of those "anything else that makes us happy" posts from the blog description). And most of the time they'll be desserts or sweet things of some sort. And let it be known that if there's a dessert that doesn't have chocolate in it, I don't believe in eating it (as a converse to that, if it has chocolate in it, I firmly believe it should be consumed in large quantities). So, this is an example of one of the many recipes that I have found, modified slightly, and added chocolate to. It's super easy too! Bon appetit!!

Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Muffins


Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 stick butter (softened)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Brewed coffee to taste (this is optional, I usually add about a quarter of a cup)
  • Walnuts to taste (toasted if you prefer)
  • Chocolate chips to taste
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Mash up bananas.
  3. Combine bananas, sugar, and butter in mixer and mix until creamy.
  4. Add eggs and mix some more.
  5. Add coffee and mix some more!
  6. Add flour and mix until everything is combined into a homogenous mixture.
  7. Add walnuts and chocolate chips and mix until they're evenly distributed.
  8. Add baking soda and mix.
  9. Place cupcake wrappers in muffin pan (you could skip these and just grease the muffin pan too, but it's kind of a pain in the butt to wash, and the boy has asked me kindly to use these from now on).
  10. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with batter.
  11. Bake for 15-20 min, until a fork stabbed in the center comes out clean (except for melted chocolate! Yum!).
  12. Stuff in mouth and be blissful.
Num num style!!!!

Makes about 18 muffins.
