In my house we regularly end up with bananas that have turned too ripe for my family’s taste. So I make muffins with them. The following recipe is delicious.

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp hot water

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1  1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt 

2/3 cup chocolate chips ( I prefer small ones)

Mix the bananas, baking soda and water together. In a separate bowl cream butter and sugar. Add the egg and the vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Lastly add the banana mixture and the chocolate chips.

Bake at 425 F for 15 to 20 minutes.
