Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

This is my all-time favorite banana muffin recipe! It's perfect for using up overripe bananas. They never last long in our house!

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

1 egg

1/3 c. canola oil

1/2 c. sugar

3 ripe bananas, mashed

2 c. whole wheat flour

1/2 c. oats

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

In a large bowl, beat the egg, oil, and sugar until smooth. Stir in the mashed bananas. Mix in the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just moistened. The batter will be quite thick (if using whole wheat flour). Stir in the chocolate chips.

Fill greased muffin tin with muffin batter. I find that with whole-wheat muffins you can fill them all the way to the top with batter and they'll come out just right. With white flour, you will only fill them about 3/4 full. Bake at 375° F for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Enjoy!
