Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Happy Election Day!  Hope everyone did their civic duty and voted.  Do you know in Greece you have to vote or you can be arrested!  Well in Greece they do not have these wonderful Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins.  These are muffins that I have made forever.  I have not found one that my friends and family have enjoyed more.  When the word gets out I made these there will be people at my door.  Someone called and asked what I was doing,when I told them ,they said they would be over.

Here is my recipe for the muffins.

1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter ( room temperature)
2 egg whites
3 ripe bananas
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
as many chocolate chunks that will make you happy

Combine sugars and butter in a bowl.  beat with a mixer until well blended. Add bananas, yogurt, and egg whites, beat well. 

In another bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt.  Stir with a whisk.  Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture.  Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until combined.  Fold in chocolate chunks.
 

Sometimes I use sour cream or buttermilk in place of the yogurt. I have used all white sugar and I often use mini chips to spread out the chocolate in the muffins. You may use  AP flour and they will turn out just fine.  Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes or until golden brown and bounce back when touched.

These are good for breakfast or an evening snack with a cup of herbal tea. mmmmmm!


I am sorry but do to uncontrollable circumstances I am not cooking this week.  I will, however, try to have something simple. Try this recipe .  You will love it!  Enjoy dessert.  These are low enough in calories , so eat two!
