[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best muffin recipe ever.....only changes I make - replace some oil with applesauce and use dark choco chips from Whole Foods.

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

pinch of salt

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled, or canola oil

2 eggs

4 very ripe bananas

1-2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 milk

Chocolate chips

Walnuts or pecans

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 12-cup muffin tin with vegetable oil spray, or butter the tins.

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

Mash together 4 bananas until very liquid. Add vanilla, one to 2 tsps, depending on how much you like the smell and taste of vanilla. Add milk. Set aside.

Mix together butter and sugar. Beat eggs into the mixture.

Add half of flour mixture to the butter, sugar and egg mix. Then add half of the banana mixture to it. Rest of flour to egg mixture, and then the rest of the banana mixture. Blend together until all ingredients just mixed. Do not overmix, or your muffins will be hard.

Fold in chocolate chips, 1-2 cups, depending on how chocolatey you like your muffins, and then nuts, 1/2 to 1 cup, depending on how nutty you like your muffins. Spoon into muffin tins until they are about 2/3 to 3/4 full.  Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in middle muffin comes out clean. (Each oven is different.) Take out of muffin tins as soon as they are cool enough to handle.

If you're interested, I made basically this same recipe last night, but with oatmeal in the mix as well.   Instead of 1/4 cup of  milk you use 1 cup, and mix it with one cup of rolled oats and let it soak. Then use the same ingredients listed above, mix the flour with the sugar, baking soda, baking powder, plus 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nugmeg.  Then to the oatmeal/milk mixture add two eggs, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1/4 cup melted butter, cooled. Then add in the bananas (I used 3, frozen and thawed, which were soooo easy to mix. much easier than fresh bananas).  Add the wet to the dry, and then mix in the chocolate chips. Bake same temp and time as above. They came out great, and since they have oatmeal I feel somewhat less guilty serving them to my kids for a quick breakfast. Will probably make again, substituting apple sauce for the butter (and cutting back on the sugar) to make them a tad bit healthier.
