Double Chocolate Banana Muffins
(Recipe from Rebecca Larson - Karen's friend)
Contributed by: Karen

1 cup sugar
Sift together:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder

Sift together into a bowl and set aside.

In a separate bowl mix:
1 1/3 cups mashed bananas (about 3)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 tsp. Vanilla

Mix until completely incorporated and add flour mixture a little at a time. Let mix sit for a minute or so (will be thick) and then fold in:

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

** Rebecca's note: Don't try the batter or you won't make it to the next step!! **

Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

**Karen's note: I confess, I did try the batter and it was DELICIOUS!! We made these Saturday afternoon and as of Monday afternoon we have only 3 left!!

Enjoy!!
