Yield:  6 Muffins

INGREDIENTS

3 ripe bananas

1/3 cup vegetable oil

½ cup granulated sugar

1-½ cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 egg

1 cup chocolate chips

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line muffin tins with liners or butter generously and set aside.  Combine bananas, oil, sugar, vanilla and egg in a large bowl.  Mix well.  Combine flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder in a separate bowl and whisk.  Gradually, add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and mix until just blended (ignore the lumps).  Fold in the chocolate chips.  Fill muffin tins with 2/3 cup of batter and bake 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
