Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350.

2. 2

   I use my kitchenaid for this -mix melted butter with bananas.

3. 3

   Add egg, vanilla, baking soda, salt, and Flax seed meal and mix well.

4. 4

   add flour and the chocolate chips last.

5. 5

   Pour into sprayed muffin tins, (I use a LARGE muffin tin and this recipe yields 6 large muffins).

6. 6

   Bake 45 mins or until a tooth pick comes out clean (the 45 mins is for the LARGE muffins).

7. 7

   Please note: I always add the flax seed meal and I try to remember the chocolate chips because it just gives them a little something extra (they tent to taste a little dry without the chocolate chips). I have omitted the sugar completely since I use VERY ripe bananas (if you want to add sugar it is 1 cup that I started with and then went to 1/2 cup and then reduced to none). I am slowly reducing the butter in this recipe, recently I reduced it to 2 tablespoons per batch. I always double if not triple this recipe!
