Banana Oatmeal Cups with Chocolate Chips

Banana Oatmeal Cups with Chocolate Chips (Sassix)

3 mashed bananas (the more ripe the better!)

1 cup vanilla Almond milk (you could use skim but you may want to add a little sweetener)

2 eggs

1 tbsp Baking powder

3 cups (240g) Old Fashion or Rolled Oats

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 tbsp (42g) mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Mix all ingredients except the chocolate chips together, and let sit while you prepare the muffin pans.

Spray a muffin pan and/or liners with with non-stick spray.

Stir the chocolate chips into the oatmeal batter.

Divide batter into 15 muffin cups. They should be just about filled.

Bake 20-30 minutes, you’ll see the edges just starting to brown and they will be firm to the touch.

The muffins may stick when hot but are removed easily when cooled for a bit

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

(I usually double or triple this recipe.)

1 1/2 cups flour

3/4 cup sugar

1 t baking soda

1 t cinnamon

1/2 t salt

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 cup oil

1/4 cup milk

1 T lemon juice

1 t vanilla

1 cup shredded zucchini

1/4 cup chocolate chips (I usually use more)

1/4 cup walnuts (optional, I have never used!)

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Combine egg, oil, milk and vanilla separately. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold in zucchini and chocolate chips and nuts.

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 20-25 minutes.

I think one recipe makes a dozen, but don't hold me to that. My sister makes these in mini muffins so there is more of them. Of course the baking time then needs to be adjusted.
