Prepare Today Homemade!!- Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I recently had a request and I have been tossing the idea around and think I will do it!  What is it, you may ask?  RECIPES!  Now if you asked my husband he would probably laugh if I said I was sharing the recipes that I make.  Don't worry I am not offended :)  I admit I am not a gourmet chef, but I do like to bake {you can't survive without cookies and bread and muffins and cake too}!  I also use food storage in my daily cooking so I felt it may help someone else who needs some ideas in the food storage cooking department.

Every Monday I will publish a recipe that I use and that also uses food storage.  (Remember that food storage is not mysterious #10 cans in the basement-it is EVERYDAY food your family eats)  So look for the new Monday posts titled "Prepare Today Homemade" and get those food storage buckets out and ready to use!! :)

The first Prepare Today Homemade Recipe is.........

One of my favorite cookbooks!!

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins-Yay!!!
(from The Essential Food Storage Cookbook)
2 C whole wheat flour
1/2 t baking soda
2 t baking powder 
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 C mashed banana (add applesauce if you don't have enough bananas)
2/3 C brown sugar
2 large eggs, slightly beaten (I use 2 T egg powder + 1/4 C water)
1/4 C oil 
2 t vanilla
1/2 C chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar in a medium bowl.  In a mixer, mix bananas, oil , eggs, and vanilla.  Add the dry to the wet and mix until just combined.  Fold in the chocolate chips.  Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and bake for 15 min.  Makes 12 


My kids LOVE these and they freeze very well.  Make a double batch and keep some in the freezer for dinner next week.
