Chocolate banana white chocolate chip muffin

For the love of cooking.com

There isnt many foods that are better after they are bad. Sometimes I kick myself for letting things go bad! HOWEVER bananas sometimes are better when they are black :) well for baking they are anyways. I didnt know if I would like this recipe because I am not a huge fan of white chocolate but I really like this one especially when I am having a chocolate craving and dont have any chocolate. This is a pretty simple recipe so I can throw it together anytime night or day.

1/2 cup of butter, softened
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
3 very ripe bananas, mashed up
2 cups of flour
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup of white chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees then coat a muffin pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, bananas, and vanilla then continue beating until well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt together, mix well. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir until just combined. Add the 3/4 cup of white chocolate chips then gently mix them into the batter.

Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin tin. Add the last 1/4 cup of the remaining white chocolate chips equally to each muffin, pushing them in gently.

Place into the oven and bake 22-25 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool on a rack. Slather with butter, if desired, and enjoy!
