Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Muffins

Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Muffins

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 overripe bananas

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly butter muffin tins.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Mash bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. Whip sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla together by hand, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in the nuts, chocolate chips and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula.

Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about halfway. Give them a rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.

Bake until a toothpick stuck in the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before turning the muffins out.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
