Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

This is the ultimate muffin. It is super chocolates, if that's your thing. And extremely yummy.

1/2 c butter
1/2 c brown sugar
11/2 c mashed ripe bananas
1/4 c milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cream together butter and brown sugar. Then add bananas, vanilla, eggs and milk. Stir together then add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Add chocolate chips. Spray muffin tins with nonstick spray and fill with the batter. Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 20-25 minutes.

Banana snack cake

I just love a quick and easy treat for my family. This cake takes little time to make and will disappear before your eyes.  A nice after school treat or a weekend snack. 

2/3 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Sour cream
(Or plain yogurt)
2 TBSP butter , softened
2 overripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp vanilla
1 c. Flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder


Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 8x8 glass baking pan.  Cream together sugar, sour cream, butter and banana. Mix in the vanilla. In a small bowl combine the salt, baking powder and flour. Ass flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.  Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool on baking rack. 

This cake is awesome as is, but here is a frosting to put it over the top.

2 tsp butter, softened
1/4 c. Heavy cream
1 TBSP vanilla
1  1/4 c. Confectioner's sugar

Beat butter and sugar together, and add vanilla. Add the heavy cream slowly, then mix until fluffy. Spread on cooled cake.

I love my banana cake to be stored in the fridge. It stays fresh and the frosting gets a little firm.
