This recipe comes from my mom and she makes these muffins every time we come to visit them in Texas. She always has a huge Tupperware container sitting out on the counter and its the first thing I eat when we walk in the door, usually after our super long 12 hour drive!

Since we’ve already decided that we will be celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas here at our house in Florida, I was really excited to whip up a bunch of these for old times sake! They tasted just like my mom makes them, all chocolatey and delicious! (Even better since I had my special helper with me!)

Banana Chocolate-Chip Muffins

1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup flaxseed meal (or wheatgerm)
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup mashed banana (usually 2 meduim size)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir sour cream and soda together in a small bowl and set aside. (I had my special helper do that, so helpful!)

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Make sure butter is really soft and room temperature when doing this step.

Add egg, beating well.

Beat in sour cream mixture.

Stir in remaining ingredients. (Trust me, they are all in there, my helper just dumped them all in.) Don’t over mix it!

Eat a few extra chips.

Spoon into greased muffin pans. (I used the butter wrapper with my silicone pan, I love that thing!)

This is what I got when I said, Smile!

Bake for 18-22 minutes. They will be down when golden brown and toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before removing from pan.

Acting silly while our muffins baked!

Enjoy while warm, that’s when they taste the best! (Bathtime was where these muffins where enjoyed. Otherwise I would have posted a pic of her eating one!)

Please let me know what you thought of the Banana Chocolate-Chip Muffins! I would love to hear from you!
