BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS {Made with Coconut Oil!}

I've been dying to test out baking with coconut oil so I finally decided to replace the vegetable oil in this lovely looking recipe for Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. I love trying new muffin recipes, don't you? I was amazed at how easy the coconut oil subbed in for the vegetable oil! These muffins had a nice, light flavor and didn't stick at all to the muffin liners, which was an added bonus!

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (2 medium)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup coconut oil {microwaved for about 20 second to soften}
1 egg
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 400ºF. Line 12 regular-size muffin cups with a muffin liner. Spray the liners real quick with cooking spray. {I always spray my muffin liners with cooking spray and even still they tend to stick a little. These didn't stick at all!}

In large bowl, beat bananas, brown sugar, milk, coconut oil and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt just until flour is moistened. Fold miniature chocolate chips into batter.

Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake 13 to 18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately remove from pan.

ENJOY!
