Hot from the oven

Sometimes, cooking is like a game show. You look in your kitchen, take stock of your ingredients, then throw something together into an edible masterpiece. So fun!

This morning, I had a humble banana. While delicious, calling it a filling breakfast is a stretch of the imagination. I contemplated slicing it into oatmeal (healthy but boring), or even rolling it in chocolate and nuts (not quite breakfast-y enough). Finally, I decided, banana chocolate chip muffins! Huzzahs for dessert camouflaged as breakfast food!

The muffins start rather unattractively, a combination of egg, butter,
brown sugar, vanilla, and mashed banana.


Dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) are mixed in.


Muffin mix!


The fun part: not measuring how much chocolate chips went into
the batter.


The small batch recipe was enough to make 6 small muffins. I really like
these silicone liners; no baking pan needed, and non-stick!


Finished muffins didn't rise very much; they stayed dense in a good,
banana-y way.


Barely waited for them to cool down before digging in!
