Banana Mini Choco Chip Muffins
(Makes 18 muffins)
These really satisfy my sweet
tooth.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup soy margarine,
softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup Egg Beaters or 4 egg
whites
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla
extract (really that much)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup mashed banana pulp
(approximately 2 bananas)
1/2 cup sweetened miniature
chocolate chips (dairy-free)
1. Spray 2 (12 hole) regular
size muffin pans with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350
degrees F.
3. Cream margarine and sugar
together until combined well and fluffy.
4. Add 1/4 cup Egg Beaters
(or 2 egg whites), beat well; add other 1/4 cup Egg Beaters (or 2 egg
whites), beat well.
5. Add vanilla and stir to
combine.
6. In another bowl, sift
together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
7. Combine wet mixture and
dry mixture using a spoon and stir just until all the ingredients are
moistened- don't overmix and don't use an electric mixer or it will
toughen the muffins (you can press out any big lumps with your spoon).
8. Gently fold in the bananas
and the mini chocolate chips.
9. Spoon into muffin tins so
they are 3/4 full- you will probably only have enough batter for about
18.
10. Bake for 15-18 minutes or
until a toothpick tests clean.
11. Let cool 5-10 minutes in
the pans, then gently slide a butter knife around the edges to help
loosen any stubborn bits.
12. Remove from tins and let
cool.
