Look, I actually baked something!

by workoutmommy on February 3, 2010

IMG_0473It is hard to believe but I actually cooked something and it was edible!  Here are the banana muffins I made over the weekend.   They were very tasty and my boys gobbled them up.

I found a simple recipe online and then modified a few things.

Here is my recipe for banana chocolate chip muffins.

  • 3 or 4 Large bananas, mashed (the more bananas the moister, so I use 4)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup melted margarine or butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup wheat germ
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine together. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt,flour and wheat germ and chocolate chips.
Mix wet and dry ingredients all together.
Pour into greased muffin pan and bake in 350 degrees F oven for approximately 20 minutes.
YUM!
I’m not a big fan of baking or cooking, but it really is much better for your body than buying store bought muffins.

What is your favorite homemade recipe?

Would they be just as good with nuts instead of chocolate chips???

I love banana muffins and your recipe sounds delicious! When my kids were younger and time was precious, I used to pre-measure the dry ingredients and store them in a jar. When I was in the mood to bake I could just add the wet ingredients. One tip: add 1 tablespoon of dry milk powder for every cup of flour to increase the nutritional value of the muffins even more!
