Seriously the best muffins EVER. The secret? MORE bananas. We usually have quite small bananas in the house as we use them for smoothies mostly. Last time I made these I had 5 slightly rotten ones kicking around so I used them all. AND... BEST. MUFFINS. EVER. OF. THE. HISTORY. OF. MUFFINS.
Also I use my mix master cause I can and that is just how I roll. I also have a preference for unbleached brown muffin cups I get from Planet Organic. They are great!
best. muffins. ever.
oven at 350
yields 18 perfect muffins.
wet mixture
1/2 cup butter (I usually end up nuking it for 30 sec's cause it's been in the fridge)
5 small bananas (browner is better here)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1/2-3/4 cup of sugar. the recipe calls for 3/4 c, but I found them a tad sweet. I cut it back to 1/2.
toss this all your mix master and beat the hell out of it. seriously. get it nice and smooth.
dry mixture
2 cups of flour. don't use whole wheat. trust me. all purpose is better.
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1tsp cinnamon
1 cup (or more.. I won't tell) MILK chocolate chips. I've done fancy dark, semi-sweet, but by FAR milk is the best.
When your wet is nice and smooth, add in your dry ingredients. DON'T OVER MIX. Muffins are best when they're not beaten into submission. Mix it until it's all incorporated.
Spoon into 18 prepared muffin tins. Bake for about 20 mins or until tops are golden. Don't over bake these.
Cool. Eat. Enjoy.
PS I ate the one at the top of the post as soon I as took that picture. HOLY SHIT GOOD.

Mmmmmmmm!! Hells ya use the mixmaster! I do too!
I will make these when it's not eleventy billion degrees outside. I'm avoiding my oven like the plague!!
i will def try these, they sound great! too hot at the moment to turn on the oven though :( any suggestions for a good sub if vanilla bean paste isn't available?
plain old vanilla extract will work just as well. :)
