Chocochip Banana Muffins

I buy a lot of banana's. They are a healthy snack and they travel well. The banana has it's own ziplock container and I can grab it and go.  My kids like banana's a little on the green side.  Not too ripe. I make these muffins a lot with the ripe bananas.  I also freeze my over ripe bananas which is a little messy and gross when they thaw but I hate wasting food and when the muffins are all baked no one will ever know the difference.  This is my own creation recipe. I love to use up my expired yogurt this way. Sometimes I put in jam and use less sugar.

3 bananas
3/4 cup of white sugar
100gram yogurt any flavor (I use expired)
1/3 cup of margerine
1 egg
beat for 1 minute
add
2 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1 cup of chocolate chips
mix by hand well.

12 large muffins - bake 350 for 20 mins

3 blog posts ago the picture of muffins is this recipe. I like these muffins for my kids. They eat them almost everyday. They love the chocolate and I love that I know what is in them. Sometimes if we are out over lunch time it makes a great substitute sandwich. Grab a couple boxes of raisins and cheese sticks and we are out the door. Or if we are in a hurry in the morning they can eat one in the car. This recipe ALWAYS turns out for me.
