Whole wheat banana chocolate chip muffins

I don't post very many recipes here on the Sassy Chronicles, but when I do, you can be sure it's a good one.  I've been making these little banana muffins for a year or two now and they're the best muffin recipe I have. They're low sugar, whole wheat and contain a fruit, what more can a mom ask for? My kids (and husband) eat the entire batch in one day.  Just make sure your bananas are good and ripe, more black than yellow. Enjoy!

Whole wheat banana muffins
Recipe from King Arthur Flour

Preheat oven to 350, spray 48 mini muffin tins with non stick cooking spray.

1 stick softened butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 t. vanilla
3 mashed very ripe bananas
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

2 cups whole wheat flour (fresh ground pastry wheat is best, but regular wheat works too!)
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Place butter and brown sugar in the bowl of your food processor, process 30 seconds to incorporate, add the bananas, eggs, honey and vanilla and process until smooth. Sprinkle the salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg over the banana mixture, process once or twice to blend. Sprinkle flour on top and process just until mixed, don't overmix! Add chocolate chips and pulse 3 or 4 times to mix.

Bake for 13 minutes in preheated oven, check with toothpick, it should come out clean or with a few crumbs. Let sit in the tins for a minute or so, then gently turn out on a cooling rack.

These muffins are a fantastic way to use up super ripe bananas!
