Banana Bread Muffins

I don't usually make muffins anymore because they aren't the healthiest option for me while I am on my weight loss journey. Although I do LOVE them and could eat multiple muffins, multiple times a day (**sigh** the life of a carb addict)!

I did want to make something for my kids and husband this weekend with the bananas that were sitting on my counter.



I found a basic recipe and adapted it to suit us!! (read: add chocolate chips, pecans and coconut!)


Recipe for Banana Bread Muffins (makes approx 12 muffins):

3 brown bananas (1 cup mashed)
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
1/4 cup pecan bits
1/4 unsweetened coconut

The great thing about this recipe is that you can add ALL the ingredients into one bowl and mix them all together! No having separate bowls for dry ingredients and another one for wet ingredients! (I mean really, that's just more bowls to wash and I hate washing dishes!) Just mix all the ingredients together, pour it into muffin tins, bake at 375 for 20 minutes until the tooth pick comes out clean and voila you are a muffin maker extraordinaire!!

I did eat one and thoroughly enjoyed it!! So tasty!!!!

My husband did refer to them as "really good"! So this is a recipe I will use again!

Enjoy :)
