Banana Chocolate Chip (Mini) Muffin recipe

I love breakfast foods. And I love chocolate. So I look for ways to combine the two. (Don't judge.) These tasty little morsels can be made as muffins or mini muffins. Beware! With mini muffins, you may lose count on how many you actually ate!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 C. mashed bananas
• 2 eggs
• 1 C. brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 C. margarine, melted
• 1 t. vanilla
• 2 1/4 C. flour
• 2 t. baking powder
• 1/2 t. cinnamon
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1 C. chocolate chips
• 1/2 C. walnuts

INSTRUCTIONS

In medium bowl, beat bananas, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla until well blended. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Make well in center of dry ingredients. Pour in banana mixture. Mix until just blended. Spoon into greased muffin cups. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes (large muffins) or 12-15 minutes (mini muffins).
