Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

With our little guy eating a 'naner a day ~~ We often have the super ripes bananas around. Seeing that little guy doesn't care for the super ripe, I've been on the search for banana recipes. These are easy to make, no mixer even needed and really good. Next time you find yourselves with some extra bananas in the house give this a try!

FIRST THING - MASH 2 BANANAS.
LEAVE THEM IN THE MIXER.
ADD 1 1/2 CUPS SUGAR
1/2 C BUTTER (1STICK AND i ALWAYS USE BUTTER)
BLEND TOGETHER IN MIXER
ADD 2 EGGS, 1/4 TEASPOON SALT, 1 TEASPOON VANILLA
MIX ALTERNATELY 1 1/2 CUPS ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
WITH 4 TABLESPOONS OF SOUR CREAM THAT HAS BEEN STIRRED TOGETHER WITH
1 TEASPOON OF BAKING SODA.
ADD CHOPPED WALNUTS IF YOU LIKE ( i LOVE WALNUTS SO 1 USE A WHOLE
CUP)(SOMETIMES i DON'T CHOP THEM, IT KIND OF LOOKS GOOD TO ME TO SEE
BIG CHUNKS OF WALNUTS.)
USE A LOAF PAN AND i GREASE IT AND LINE IT WITH SILVER FOIL 375
OVEN FOR 1 HOUR++.
THE TOP SHOULD BE FIRM.
STICK A TOOTHPICK INTO IT IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT. SHOULD COME OUT DRY.
IF YOU ARE USING A KITCHENAID THE BOWL HOLDS 2 RECIPES AT A TIME. i
NEVER MAKE ONE.
EXTRA RIPE BANANAS ARE BEST. tHE SUPER MARKET SOMETIMES HAS BAGS OF
OVERRIPE BANANAS AVAILABLE. SHOULD HAVE A LOT OF BROWN SPOTS ON THEM
(i GUESS THE SUGAR IS FERMENTING AND THEY'RE BECOMING ALCOHOLIC)
ANYWAY THAT'S WHEN THEY MAKE THE BEST BANANA BREAD.
THEY FREEZE BEAUTIFULLY. i
