Banana & Chocolate chocolate chip muffins

I may not be a believer in diet cake but I do believe in the benefits of whole wheat flour so I adjusted the original recipes for the Banana muffins and the Chocolate chocolate chip muffins. They turned out really good and tasted more like a true hearty breakfast muffin rather than a super sweet cake. I also added in just a tiny bit more fat so they wouldn't be dry.

Banana Muffin
3 Large bananas, mashed

3/4 cup white sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup melted butter

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup all purpose flour

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

Blend the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Combine wet and dry mixtures all together. Do not over-stir! Pour into greased muffin pans, and bake in 350 degrees oven for approximately 20 minutes. Makes 6 jumbo muffins or 12 regular muffins.


Chocolate chocolate chip muffins
1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup chocolate chips

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup cocoa, sifted if lumpy

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1 cup milk

1/2 cup cooking oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine flours, chocolate chips, sugar, cocoa, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Create a well in the center.Beat egg in a small bowl. Add milk, cooking oil, and vanilla. Stir and pour into well. No not over mix!. Grease 12 muffin cups (or 6 jumbo) and fill cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes until golden.
