It happens to all of us. We all get a bunch of bananas on our weekly shopping, but somehow throughout the week plans change, and we end up getting to Sunday with some over-ripe bananas. I had three bananas, and I didn’t want to freeze them. Often they get pushed to the back of the freezer and I find them a couple of months later and realize I didn’t do much with them. So this time I whipped up these Easy Banana Muffins.

This recipe is a breeze to make. Two bowls, one fork, a spatula and a scoop. No mixer, no fancy equipment… Not even a soften stick of butter! My only modification from the original recipe is that I added a good dose of vanilla and that was it! Another great recipe from the Everyday Food + Martha Stewart team! 🙂

Yields: 12 muffins

Ingredients:

¾ cup light brown sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
¼ cup milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350ºF, and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In a small bowl, combine the banana, sugar, egg, butter, vanilla and milk until there are no lumps.
