Oh!! And the game!! He certainly didn't make it easy, did he?? Well, here are the answers:
Picture one is: A melted chocolate chip inside...
Picture two: A banana muffin, made from...
Picture three: a black banana peel with a lump of over-ripe banana!
And the recipe is...

2 eggs
2 small ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semisweet, or chunks, etc)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and grease/line a 12-cup muffin pan. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir in mashed bananas and yogurt until well combined. Add to dry ingredients and stir until just moistened (there will still be bits of flour) Stir in chocolate chips.
Divide batter among muffins cups. Bake for for 18-22 minutes, or until golden-brown and firm to the touch. Let cool a few minutes in pan before removing.
So many of you were SOO close!! In fact, my Mom had almost all the right answers in her guesses, but then picked wrong for her final choices! Because there are too many of you tied, points-wise, it would be a little bit hard to send you all baked yummies, so I have another idea: each of you that guessed cupcake (close enough), reply to this post with a recipe request! ANYTHING!! And I will research, and over the next couple of weeks, share a fabulous recipe for each request, tried and tested for deliciousness. What do you think??
I hope you'll play! And now, on to the muffins: To start with, dark chocolate and banana? Perfect match!! These muffins were a family-favorite, even the picky one approved!!
Soft and fluffy and banana-y, with warm, melty dark chocolate, the best banana muffins I've ever made. Or eaten! Hands down! And so easy to throw together, as I can assure you after making them while sick!
Well, see you all next week!! And I hope you really do comment those requests!
I went 0 for 3 on guessing those :)
ReplyDeleteYeah...I guessed the cupcake right :) I would love a simple and easy, yet delicious recipe for Tiramisu. My 16 year old son loves this dessert. I've tried one recipe, but it was so complicated that I really don't want to make it again. A more simple recipe would be great! Thanks and hope you continue to feel better!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome!! Would you believe I've never actually had tiramisu?? So, I'm starting my research, do you have an egg preference? Some of these have raw eggs whipped into the mascarpone...
DeleteI'm a little scared about the raw eggs, although my local grocery store carries pasterized eggs. They would probably be fine to use if those seem like the best recipes?? I can't wait to see what you come up with :)
DeleteAs long as you wash the eggs in warm, soapy water first, that should kill all the bacteria and you shouldn't get sick from a raw egg in a recipe. It's what I do for ice cream recipes where you don't heat the mixture before freezing.
DeleteI may have found a way to skip the eggs! Tiramisu will be on the menu next week!
DeleteApril,just send me about a dozen,teehehehe!!..Yall have ton's of fun on the road trip.
