Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

"What is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake? Nothing. A muffin is just a bald cupcake."- Jim Gaffigan in Beyond the Pale

I am not a big cereal fan. Sadly I am also not a real morning person, so most mornings I'm too lazy to make anything besides a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Which is especially sad because there are so many delicious breakfast foods. These muffins are one of those yummy things I make when I'm feeling particularly tired of cereal. They are easy to make and taste so moist and delicious. Plus who doesn't want to get away with eating cupcakes for breakfast? This is the way to do it and not feel so bad about yourself.

I found the original recipe for these chocolate chip banana muffins on Allecipes.com, and have altered it slightly.

Ingredients:
1 3/4 C Flour
3/4 C Sugar
1 t Baking Powder
1 t Baking Soda
1/2 t Salt
1 Egg
1/2 C Vegetable Oil
1/2 C Plain Yogurt
1 t Vanilla Extract
2 C Mashed Ripe Banana (About 4 bananas)
1/3 C Semisweet Chocolate Chips

1. Combine dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Mix egg, oil, yogurt and vanilla together in another bowl.
3. Add in dry ingredients until moistened.
4. Add bananas and chocolate chips.
5. Fill muffin cups about three fourths full. Bake at 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

This recipe makes about 16 muffins.

They are amazingly delicious fresh from the oven and still pretty darn delicious for several days, although they rarely last that long around here.
