Miriam's Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins


Large Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins:

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¾ cup sugar
1 stick butter – melted
¼ cup milk
1 whisked egg
3 mashed bananas
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions:
1.      In a large bowl, mix together the 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.
2.      In a medium sized bowl, mix together the ¾ cup sugar, melted butter, ¼ cup milk, 1 whisked egg, and 3 mashed bananas.
3.      Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and mix.
4.      Measure out 1 cup chocolate chips and stir chocolate chips into the batter
5.      Line a large muffin pan (muffin pan for 6 muffins rather than 12) with large cupcake liners
6.      Preheat oven to 350 degrees
7.      Fill the cupcake liners evenly with batter
8.      Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown

Mark's Notes:
The original recipe called for 3/4 cup brown sugar.  I changed this to 3/4 cup regular sugar.  If using brown sugar then you don't need the 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.

We had to buy extra large liners for the larger muffin pan.  You can also grease the muffin pan with cooking oil if you do not have muffin liners.

Mark’s Story: 
For 4H, Miriam wanted to make Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins.  I found a Martha Stewart recipe.  We made 6 large muffins rather than 12 smaller muffins.  Miriam did all the work making them.  These were some of the best muffins I have ever had.  I’m not saying this because my daughter made this.  I’m saying this because these were far better than anything I could buy at a bakery.  They were most excellent.  So, I hope you try this recipe.  Enjoy.  Remember Jesus loves you!!
