Banana Muffins

• 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup butter, melted (or 5 tablespoons)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat muffin pans with non-stick spray, or use paper liners.

Step 2:

In a medium size bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; Stir with a whisk to combine. Set aside.

Step 3:

Combine bananas, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter in a large bowl. Fold in flour mixture and chocolate chips, and mix until smooth. Scoop into muffin pans.

Step 4:

Bake in preheated oven. Bake mini muffins for 10 to 15 minutes, and large muffins for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean. Muffins will spring back when lightly tapped.
