Sometimes the best recipes I come up with are ones that are forced on me – I look around at the fresh ingredients I need to use up and come up with something. That’s the way it happened with this recipe; I had one really ripe banana, a few Ghirardelli chocolates left over from Valentine’s Day, and a handful of craisins. The result is this muffin recipe, which my women’s group sisters just loved! See what you think.
Banana Split Muffins
2 T. butter, melted
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup milk
1 cup flour
1 t. baking powder
1 medium-sized ripe banana, mashed
4 squares chocolate candy, broken into small pieces (1/3 cup)
1/3 cup cherry flavored craisins
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 6-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar. Add milk and stir just until combined. Stir together flour and baking powder; mix into butter mixture. Add remaining ingredients, stirring just until combined. Divide the mixture evenly amongst the six muffin cups. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Oh my, that sounds yummy.
