banana cinnamon chip muffins.

so i haven't blogged in forever. i had so many recipes i wanted to try out and take pictures over the holidays but i was so busy that i just didn't get around to it. i really wish i had. i found some great recipes.

i hadn't planned on not posting something for such a long time but after the holidays, i was kind of on a sugar overload. i really didn't want anything sweet in the house. oh yeah, and when you opt for stretchy pants over jeans...it is probably a sign you've had too much sweetness in your life. 

anyway, here is a recipe i have wanted to try for a while. today was a snow day for us...a perfect excuse to bake, right?!

i use the cinnamon chips in one of my favorite recipes, snickerdoodle blondies. i love them...so i am so glad i have another recipe to use them in!

banana cinnamon chip muffins + printable recipe
--recipe from your home based mom

2 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

2 1/4 c ripe mashed banana
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c sour cream 

1/4 c vegetable oil
3 large egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract

1 c pecan or walnut pieces (i didn’t use)
3/4 c cinnamon chips

preheat your oven 400 F. line 12 muffins cups with liners or spray with non-stick spray.

in a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.

combine banana, sugar, sour cream, oil, egg yolks, and vanilla in another bowl.

add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and stir just to combine. do not over mix. it will make them tough. 

fold in nuts and cinnamon chips. fill muffin tins about 2/3 to 3/4 full.

bake muffins at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. adjust temperature to 350 and bake for 8-10 minutes more. let muffins cool in tins for about 5 minutes and transfer to cooling racks.
