Muffins. Bread. Mini Muffins. You can pour this batter into pretty much any baking vessel and as long as you adjust the cooking time, they'll never fail. Always the most tender, moist, delicious result with just the right amount of sweet and cinnamony balance. And they're "healthy" because... bananas.
Yield: 12 muffins, 1 loaf of bread, or 48 mini muffins

1/2-3/4 cup chocolate chips

3. In a large bowl, mash bananas until they're completely broken down
4. Add butter, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and egg and stir to combine.
