Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

Ingredients:

- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

- 1 1/3 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg

- 1 cup (6 oz) miniature chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease muffin tins, or line with paper liners.

Whisk together the first 8 ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the bananas, oil, vanilla, and egg, until blended. Add to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Fold in chocolate (and walnuts, if desired).

Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
