Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup baking cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1-1/3 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together the first six ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk bananas, oil and egg until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips.
