Mom’s Day Muffins

Posted 1 year, 4 months ago at 6:34 pm. 2 comments

One of my favorite hobbies is cooking, and I’m making brunch for my parents and my in-laws tomorrow. I missed out on making brunch last year since I was studying for comps. Here’s a recipe that is sure to please any chocolate-loving mom (or person for that matter).  It is my chocolate chip banana muffins. This recipe makes 12-16 muffins. WARNING: They are pretty rich.

1 3/4 C organic all-purpose flour

3/4 C organic sugar

a few sprinkles of organic baking cocoa (depending on how chocolatey you want it)

1 t baking powder

1 t baking soda

a dash of salt

1 organic egg

1/4 C canola oil

1/2 C organic vanilla yogurt

1 C mashed organic ripe bananas (about 3-4)

3/4 C organic chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl and mix (flour through salt). Combine the egg, oil, and yogurt in a small bowl and mix well. Pour into the dry ingredients and combine. (The mixture will still be a bit dry). Mix in the bananas and chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees F about 24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool a bit and enjoy!

My menu for tomorrow includes these muffins.  I am also making a fruit salad of mango, pineapple, grapes, strawberries, and blueberries tossed with a little lemon juice, organic sugar, and poppy seeds. I will be serving a smoked salmon appetizer, asparagus frittata, and chicken sausages also.

It should be a pretty fun time.
