Banana-Chocolate Chip muffins

I've been making these every few weeks from that Devi Titus Home Experience book (& getting that giant book out every time I need this recipe!) I decided it'd be easier to type it here so I could print it off--Also, thought I should share this great recipe b/c it's one of the best banana/bread recipes I've had!

Ingredients:

3-4 ripe bananas

1 C sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 C flour

1/4 C melted butter

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 C chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9x5x3 loaf pan or muffin tins.

Mash bananas in a lg bowl, add remaining ingredients & mix well.

Pour batter into pan & bake for 1 hour (if baking in loaf pan). 20 minutes(approximately) if using muffin tins.

Banana-Cinnamon Cake

I sometimes take my ripe bananas and make banana bread or muffins. This time I decided to try something new--this was really good and would be great for a brunch (also got this idea from bettycrocker.com)

Ingredients:

1 pkg yellow cake mix

1/2 C water

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 medium)

1/2 C butter, softened

2 tsp ground cinnamon

3 eggs

1/2 C chopped walnuts

Cinnamon Glaze:

1/2 C cream cheese frosting (I used store bought, but you could make your own)

2-3 tsp milk

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon to sprinkle on top

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 350--grease bundt pan

2. Beat cake mix, water, bananas, butter, cinnamon & eggs with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes. Stir in walnuts. Pour in pan.

3. Bake 40-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Turn pan upside down onto plate, remove pan & let cake cool completely (about 2 hours). Stir glaze ingredients (except for cinnamon) in small bowl until its thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle cover the cake and sprinkle cinnamon on top.
