3 large overripe bananas, mashed
2/3 cup granulated (white) sugar
1/4 cup oil
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose (plain) flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 + 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350◦F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a large bowl, mix together the first six wet ingredients. Add the next four dry ingredients. Remove 1 cup of batter. Melt 1/3 cup chips and add to the one cup of batter, along with the remaining chocolate chips.
Place one Tablespoon plain batter, followed by one Tablespoon chocolate batter, and one Tablespoon plain batter in each cup. Top each with a teaspoon of chocolate batter. Swirl gently with a knife. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Overripe bananas are inevitable, especially in hot weather. These muffins make a great snack - moist with a nice hint of chocolate. The two batters take a little extra effort, but it is fairly quick to do and so worth it.
