Anyone else have a hankering for banana chocolate chip muffins lately? This is my go to breakfast/snack. I always have premade muffins in the freezer and several in a container on the counter at all times.
I love banana muffins as you can use up those older bananas that you dont really feel like eating anymore. I usually throw them into the freezer until I have enough to make a double recipe.

Notes
(1) Dairy & Corn Allergy Depending on allergies use whatever butter you need. There are several options:MELT,Earth Balance,Miyokos, coconut oil, goat butter). Beware of salt in the butter if corn allergic (look for sea salt or unsalted). Many of the vegan butter have corn derivatives.
(2) Corn Allergy Vanilla is made with alcohol, often corn, if necessary, you may need to make your own
(3) Corn Allergy Many that are allergic to corn are sensitive to iodized salt as corn is used in the processing. Sea salt is better, but some are still quite sensitive.
(4) Corn Allergy During the dutching process to create cocoa, it is treated with ph balancing agents, derived from corn. It is difficult to find safe cocoa or chocolate chips. A couple of corn lite options: Cuisine Camino, Equal Exchange.
(5) Corn & Soy Allergy PAM is full of contaminated corn oils and soy oil. I usually take safe olive oil and grease it with my hands. You can buy oil mister bottles and fill with your own safe oil as well.
I dont line my muffin pans as it isnt needed. They hold well on their own, and often they are too greasy to stick anyways.
