Ingredients

  • 2 12 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 12 teaspoon baking soda
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup margarine, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375F (original recipe says 400F, but I find this to be too high).
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Mix well and set aside.
  • In another bowl, cream margarine and sugar together until fluffy.
  • Add egg, coffee liquid, and mashed bananas.
  • Fold into dry ingredients until moistened.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Spoon into greased/paper-lined muffin tins and bake for 17-20 minutes, until muffins are springy to touch, or a toothpick inserted in centre muffin comes out clean.
