BAKED

Ingredients

• Bananas - 1 & 1/2 cups mashed, very ripe
• Sugar – 1/2 cup
• Light brown sugar - 1/4 cup firmly packed
• Butter - 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted, melted
• Whole milk - 1/4 cup
• Egg - 1
• A.P. flour - 1 & 1/2 cups
• Espresso powder - 1 tsp
• Baking soda - 1 & 1/2 tsp
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Semisweet chocolate chips - 1 cup (6 oz.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a 12 cup muffin pan.

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the bananas, sugars, egg, butter and milk.

In another bowl, add the flour, baking soda, salt and instant espresso powder. Whisk the dry ingredients together.

To this, add the banana mixture and stir until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Fill each muffin cup until about three quarters full. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a muffin comes out clean.

Cool the muffins for about 15 minutes in the pan, then remove the muffins and cool on a rack.

These muffins can either be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
