Banana -Chocolate Chip Muffins

Here is a sweet treat for the upcoming Christmas Holidays...Banana -Chocolate Chip Muffins! Guess what? This is good for you too!

INGREDIENTS:

1-1/2 cups flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 ripe bananas

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

3 large eggs

1 cup mini chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

1.Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 18 muffin pan wells with paper liners.

2.In a medium-size bowl, whisk together both flours, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, use a fork to mash the bananas, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract until well blended.

3.In large bowl, use a mixer set on medium speed to beat together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Reduce the mixer's speed to low and blend in one third of the flour mixture. Add half the banana mixture and blend again. Continue alternating between the flour and banana mixtures, until all the ingredients have been incorporated into the batter. Fold in the chocolate chips.

4.Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
