By Susan52

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup baking cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1-1/3 3 mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup (6 ounces) miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together the first six ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk bananas, oil and egg until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Optional streusel topping: Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; cut in 1/4 cup cold butter until crumbly. Before baking, sprinkle over filled muffin cups; bake as directed.
