Who wants a banana chocolate chip muffin?
Around here banana chocolate chip muffins are a HUGE hit!
And what’s better than just eating the muffins? Getting to bake them with the kids!
Originally this was a recipe for banana chocolate chip bread given to me by my mother-in-law. Over the years I have tweaked it to make the most delicious banana chocolate chip muffins!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 bananas, mashed
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions for Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins:
Cream sugar, shortening, and applesauce in a large bowl.
Add eggs and mashed bananas; mix.
Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Bake in greased muffin pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes.
Makes 12-16 muffins. 
If you’re lucky, the kids may just spare you one or two!
I like to make a batch of banana chocolate chip muffins and put half in the freezer. That way I can pull out a couple for the kids (and myself) whenever the mood strikes.
