Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

by Jamie
How many of you have some
brown spotted bananas on your counter?
Do you find yourself in this predicament on a regular basis?
I know I do!
There is just something about that big bag of bananas hanging out at Costco that lures me in every time.
“Buy Me!” they seem to say.
“I am the only thing in this store for under $2”
I say “Amen” under my breath and come home
 with at least one bag every time.
Well as of Monday I had a total of
10 big bad bananas turning all spotty on me.
(Not to mention I’ll be heading to Costco soon and you know those bananas will be calling to me again…..)
Since I already have a Ziploc bag full of ripe bananas in the freezer…I rolled up my sleeves and got a bakin’.
I  have two wonderful banana bread recipes on the site. This fine lookin’ dandy is Buttery Blonde Banana Bread. If you are in the mood for rich, pound cake like banana bread hold on to your hats. This recipe is going to blow your pound-cake-lovin mind.
Here we have Best Banana Bread. If you are in love with sugary-crusty-exteriors on your Banana Bread…make this treasure of a recipe. This lovely Best Banana Bread  had her picture retaken a couple of days ago, and isn’t she looking snazzy. My old pictures of her were NOT kind.  
I have been on the look out lately for a great Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe. I tried a couple of recipes this week and this fine dandy was definitely worth sharing! The “fat” the recipe calls for is mayonnaise! Who would have thought. I used Miracle Whip Light and they were great! My kids gobbled them up in a quick hurry and they came together in a snap. They are very light and sweet.  Hope you like them as much as we do.
Put those brown spotted bananas to good use my friends! You’re family will love you for it!
Then buy another big bag of bananas at Costco…..that’s a good chunk of fruit for $1.39!

I just had to come back and say these WERE A HUGE HIT! My husband and son cannot stay out of them and my brother in law loves them too. They were so shocked when I said they had mayo in them. Definite two thumbs up!

These muffins are fabulous! Even my banana hating daughter loves them! I did substitute half the white flour with whole wheat. Still delish!

I have a soft-spot / weakness for banana bread. Your recipe is the perfect excuse to indulge and I was thinking of throwing in a handful of chocolate chips. The lemon cookies with white chocolate are also on my “to bake” list.

I just tested this recipe and they came out marvelous!! This is the first time i've tried baking with mayo, so i'm impressed with the turnout. I added some pecans for a kick. You must try this recipe. Thanks for sharing Jamie!

Mayonnaise? really?
I don't understand :S

I am so excited about this recipe! Never seen one with mayo, but because of that it means I can make it for my daughter who has allergies (dairy, soy, yeast, etc) and only modify it to use her special allergen free chocolate chips!!

Hey!

I have Kraft’s olive oil mayo on hand. Can I use that?

Reply
Melissa January 2, 2014 - 12:18 pm

I love this muffin recipe, I have made it a couple of times and yes, you can use the Kraft’s olive oil mayo, I made it that way last week. I love that it uses mayo because we don’t eat a lot of mayo so it helps me use the jar before it expires.

Have made these before, & I loved them. Yesterday I made them for my very fussy 4 & 7 year old grandsons. They loved them! They asked if they could take some home with them. Of course I said “Yes!”

I was a little skeptical about the mayo in the muffin recipe but they are absolutely fabulous!
