Chocolate-Almond Banana Muffins


Delicious. Some of the chocolate morsels sank to the bottom of the cakes, so I might recommend a touch more flour, but even so, the results were very moist and tasty.

Ingredients:
sliced almonds
semi-sweet chocolate morsels

3/4 c flour
1/3 c sugar (1/2 brown, 1/2 white)
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 egg (or just an egg white)
1/2 stick butter (1/4 c)
1/8 c milk
1 overripe banana, mashed
Makes 6.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 deg F. Melt butter in the microwave until warm (not hot). Mix milk, beaten eggs, butter together in a bowl with a few drops of anise or almond extract. Mix in the banana. In a separate bowl, combine flour/sugar/salt/rising agents/chocolate chips; mix well.

Toast some almond slices in the oven. Incorporate liquids to the solids, stirring to combine. Don't overstir. Spoon into muffin tins and bake for 25-30 minutes (or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean).
