Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe
(Loosely adapted from Martha Stewart's Banana Bread recipe on page 106 of the Martha Stewart Cookbook!.)

3 med!. ripe bananas
?c crème fraiche or sour cream
2 tbsp Calvados or Brandy or Rum
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
? tsp freshly ground nutmeg
? tsp cake spice
? tsp cinnamon

? pound (1 stick) unsalted butter – room temperature
?c sugar
?c honey

1c all purpose flour
? c rolled oats (not the quick cook kind)
? c whole wheat flour
1 ? tsp baking powder (no aluminum!)
1 tsp salt

1/3c chocolate chips (or to taste) plus more for decorating
1/3c walnuts (or to taste)


Pre-heat oven to 350°F!.

Using a fork mash peeled bananas with crème fraiche, calvados, vanilla, and spices!. Lightly beat 2 eggs and combine!. Set aside!.

In a large bowl cream butter, sugar and honey with a flat whisk or fork!. When combined add flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt and oats!. Stir to combine – do not overstir!. Then lightly stir in walnuts and chocolate chips!.

Using a tablespoon fill muffin pans with batter!. Decorate with chocolate chips if you like and place in pre-heated oven!. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown at edges, a skewer comes out clean or internal temperature is 200 or above!.

Makes 24 mini muffins!.

Substitutions: You can add and subtract additions pretty easily with these muffins!.

Sugar: Sometime we use all sugar and no honey or vice versa!. You may need to adjust the quantity based on the sweetness you desire!.

Flour: I’ve used bran and graham flour in place of the oats!. You can use oat bran as well!. The total flour quantity should add up to 1 1/2c!. I adjusted the baking powder amount slightly from the Martha Stewart recipe to accommodate the whole wheat flour!.
