Chocolate Studded Banana Bread (Pastry School Recipe)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixer. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the milk, vanilla and the smashed bananas. In another bowl, sift together the baking soda and flour. Once sifted, slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. (Be sure not to over mix.) Fold in the chocolate chips at the end.

Butter and flour your muffin tins and then add cupcake papers. Fill each liner until it’s 3/4 of the way full (this will ensure a big fluffy muffin top). Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-18 minutes or until you stick a knife into the muffin and it comes out clean.
