Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I have depended on this recipe for years. It is my variation of a recipe I originally obtained from the Colorado State Extension Office for high altitude baking. Our guests enjoy the combination of banana and chocolate chips and my children love the leftovers.

2C flour
½ C sugar
2t. baking powder
1t. salt
½ C vegetable oil
1C milk
1 egg, beaten
½ bag mini chocolate chips
2 very ripe bananas, mashed

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix together dry ingredients. Mix together liquid ingredients. Add liquid to dry and mix until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips and banana. Fill greased 12C muffin pan 2/3 full and bake at 375 degrees for 17 to 20 min. or until golden brown. Note: Do not over mix batter as over-mixing will result in tough muffins
