These have been a regular snack for me in my third trimester. I've even gone as far as to freeze some to have on hand after baby comes.This is a modified rendition of the Joy of Cooking's Banana Nut Muffins. I make them by hand in one large mixing bowl.
Makes 12 muffins
2-3 ripe bananas
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 flax meal or wheat bran
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375F.
Mash the banana with a potato masher, add the egg, sugar, butter and vanilla. Mix thoroughly.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Do no overmix. Add the walnuts and chocolate chips, stir to distribute in batter.
Line a 12 muffin tin with paper liners. Divide batter evenly into tin, bake for 17-21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Enjoy with a glass of chocolate milk!
