CHUNKY MONKEY MUFFINS

Category: Muffins

3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks
1/4 cup toasted, broken walnuts
3 tbsp butter
3/4 cup smashed bananas (about 2 medium)
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
2 tbsp vanilla-flavored yogurt

Topping:
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar

Preheat oven to 375. Spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, whisking together till well combined. Stir in chocolate chunk and walnuts; set aside.

In a medium microwaveable bowl, melt the butter. Mix in the bananas, sugar, and vanilla, beating by hand till well combined. Whisk in the egg and yogurt and again beat till well combined. Add wet ingredients all at once to dry ingredients and stir till just barely combined. Fill 9 muffin cups 2/3 full. Sprinkle each muffin top with some of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or till muffins test done (when a toothpick inserted near center, and not in chocolate, returns almost clean). Yield: 9 small muffins
