CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA NUT MUFFINS



Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Muffins image

I adapted this recipe with a few of my own changes from a Cooking for 2 Magazine recipe, so it is great for when you just want to mix up 1/2 dozen muffins. These are a very moist muffin with just enough chocolate and nut flavor. Tastes best fresh out of the oven.

Time 40m

Yield 6 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup mashed ripe banana
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup mini chocolate chip

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in the egg, banana, and vanilla.
  • In separate bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture just until moistened.
  • Fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips.
  • Coat 6 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray and fill two-thirds full with batter.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Prep the Ingredients: To get a head start, pre-measure all the dry ingredients. Incorporate room temperature ingredients to ensure even blending. Double-check measurements for precise results.
  • Maximize Banana Flavor: Select ripe bananas with black spots for optimum sweetness. For richer banana taste, use them within 2-3 days.
  • Achieve Perfect Consistency: Mix wet & dry ingredients separately, then combine. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense muffins.
  • Chocolate & Walnut Delight: Use high-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate. Chop walnuts consistently for even distribution and texture.
  • Muffin Pan Preparation: Grease or use paper liners in muffin cups for easy release. Fill each about 2/3 full for perfect muffins.
  • Baking Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at the right temperature for the specified time. Insert a toothpick for doneness; it should come out clean.
  • Additional Add-Ins: For a twist, consider adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. You can also include dried fruits, nuts, or even crumbled bacon for a savory twist.
