The bananas here are so sweet and tasty. I should be making banana bread and muffins every week, but I usually forget. I had a few frozen bananas from several months ago just waiting to be used, which totally reminds me of my mom. When I was a kid, I'd open the freezer in search of a sweet treat from the Schwan's man and would find twenty black bananas staring back at me. I was always disgusted by the sight. Who'd want to eat rotten black bananas?? It wasn't until I began cooking myself that I made the connection between those frozen black bananas and Mom's amazing Banana Bread! Now whenever bananas start to go bad before we get around to eating them, I just throw them in the freezer. At the risk of disgusting Emma, I only got up to twelve before I decided to use most of them! Mmm . . . I'm not sure if it's the massive amounts of unfrozen rotten bananas I threw into the recipe or the chocolate chips, but this was definitely one of the better batches of muffins I've ever tasted! (Maybe it was the butter??)
2 c. whole wheat flour
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter
1 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
2 eggs
2 1/3 c. mashed overripe bananas
1/2 c. chocolate chips
Grease muffin tin. Mix ingredients. Fill tins to top. Sprinkle with a few more chocolate chips. Bake at 350 until edges are browned and knife comes out clean.
