Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

By Whisk

Bananas and chocolate are a classic combination that I love. I think these muffins are a good excuse for a "dessert-like" treat at breakfast. And baking them in cookie cutters means you can play around with themes throughout the year.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 ripe bananas
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350˚F.

Cream the butter and sugar. Mash the bananas with a fork in a separate bowl. Add the bananas to the butter/sugar mixture. Add eggs, and blend. In a separate bowl, whisk the baking soda and flour. Add the flour/soda mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in chocolate chips.

Pipe batter into cookie cutters that are lined up on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
