bananas Some foods taste great but they don't exactly have names that instill confidence that they'll taste great. Other foods have a name that just makes you want to bite into the letters, and Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins is such a food.

This recipe is from the always fun Cooking For 2 blog. But you can make these muffins even if you find yourself alone on a Friday night (especially if you find yourself alone on a Friday night). Full recipe after the jump!

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

1/2 stick butter, room temperature
2/3 c sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 T vanilla
2/3 c flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 banana, mashed
1 c bittersweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line six big muffin cups with paper or foil tins.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the egg and vanilla.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Add the dry works to the wet works and mix until just combined. Fold in the banana and chocolate chips, then spoon the batter into the tins.

Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool a bit before eating or the chips will burn your tongue (lesson learned the hard way).
