Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

These are absolutely some of my most favorite muffins ever!!  They're slightly healthy ... slightly decadent & indulgent ... and totally delicious!! I'm not sure how they come out perfectly every time, but these are my "go to" muffins, for sure!!

I found this recipe on Thebakingchocolatess.com, but I've changed it slightly. 
Ingredients
  • 4 ripe bananas, medium - the more ripe "spots" the better!!
  • 1/3 cup melted butter, cooled
  • 1/2 to 2/3 cup sugar - If you prefer sweeter, go with the 2/3 cup. I prefer to use a "healthier" sugar called Whey Low. There's a Diabetic Approved version they sell that's low GI and still just as sweet! 
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Bob's Paleo Baking Flour.  I use the paleo flour OR their gluten-free version.  The paleo is not "nut free approved", just fyi, but it lends an awesome creamy taste!  You can also use 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour instead.
  • 1 cup Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate chips

As a side note, I love using my Cuisinart mixer! This thing is amazing & makes baking SO easy!  If you don't have a stand-alone mixer, you can definitely mix it by hand or by using an electric hand-mixer.

Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Line your muffin pan with liners.
  • Peel bananas and throw them in a big bowl with the melted butter and smash it all together with a fork... OR mix together on low/med speed in your mixer.
  • Keep blending until the mixture is creamy and smooth, not chunky.
  • Add sugar, egg and vanilla and mix just until combined.
  • Stir in salt and baking soda.
  • Add flour and chocolate chips and mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
  • Divide into muffin tins.
  • Bake until a toothpick pulls out cleanly - this is right about 18-20 minutes.
    ​

Note:  Remove your muffins right away & set onto a cooling rack.
