Chocolate Banana Muffins

Ingredients:
3 or 4 over ripe bananas, smashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
3/4 bag chocolate chips

Directions:
This can all be mixed by hand with a spoon, no need to bust out the mixers.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-Mash the bananas, do not puree as you want some nice chunks.
-Melt the butter, along with a handfull of chocolate chips then stir into the bananas.
-Add in sugar, egg, vanilla and salt. Mix well.
-Stir in flour 1/2 cup at a time, be sure to stir as you add so the flour is mixed in well. The dough will be thick, but easy to work with.
-Add in chocolate chips and give it a few more stirs.
- Spoon mix into a well greased muffin tin and bake for 30 minutes.
-Let cool on a clean towel upside down for at least 20 minutes. Makes a great breakfast or even desert.

I love these muffins! I tried them for the first time today and they are amazing. Moist and the perfect blend of chocolate and banana. For the bananas use ones that are close to being spolied, they have the best flavor and are easy to mash, and even better if they have been frozen then thawed.

Hope you enjoy.
