Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Muffins

Am I the only one that sees the bananas turning brown and think “what can I bake?” Maybe I have a problem but who doesn’t love muffins? Especially Chocolate chip banana nut muffins! These have been our favorite quarantine treat! They satisfy my sweet tooth and they feel guilt-free since they have fruit in them lol If you want to go all-in check out THIS recipe 🙂

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (don’t pack the flour in your measuring cup, spoon it into the the cup)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed well
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup Canola oil
• 2/3 cup nuts, plus more for sprinkling (I used walnuts because that’s that I had on hand. I also love these with pecans)
• 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for sprinkling ( I have made them with milk chocolate and they are just as good)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F or 175°C.
2. Whisk together: flour, both sugars, baking soda, and salt in a bowl
3. Whisk mashed bananas, the egg, vanilla, and oil to the same bowl and mix until everything is combined (I used an immersion blender)
4. Fold chopped nuts and chocolate chips into your mixture with a spatula
5. Pour batter into a paper-lined muffin pan (I used a measuring cup to fill each cup a little over 1/2 way)
6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
7. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes then move to a cooling rack to completely cool before you store

I store these Chocolate chip banana nut muffins in an airtight container. They should be good for about 5 days but I can’t tell you for sure, because we always eat them in about 3 days! LOL

Let me know how you all like them muffins and what kinds of nuts you used in yours, if any at all!
