To Biscuit or Muffin? Banana Chocolate Chip Mufcuit!

I LOVE biscuits.....I can usually whip them up fast to accompany a meal that I feel needs a biscuit. I vary it with herbs and cheeses and some flavour boosters(like garlic). I LOVE muffins too....but find it temperamental at times...slowly mix, with a fork, don't over mix... etc etc etc! Then one day...I thought why not take my usual biscuit recipe and tweak it a little...for muffins! And it worked! BUT...what do I call them?? That's when I came up with Mufcuits....its in a shape of a MUFFIN but the main recipe is BISCUIT.

The KIDS love them....and they are GREAT for SCHOOL!!

Here you go!! What do YOU think?!

Banana Chocolate Chip Mufcuits @Sherry Watton

Preheat Oven to 350

½ cup Butter(softened)

½ cup Brown Sugar and ½ cup White Sugar

2 eggs

2 Ripe Bananas

½ tsp of Vanilla(I like PURE)

2 ½ cups of flour(just the regular All-Purpose Flour)

2tsp Baking Powder

1 cup Chocolate Chips

Cream the Butter and the Sugars, once well blended, add the mashed bananas and blend again, then add the eggs and vanilla, blend again…..till one big cream mess!

In another bowl have the flour and the B. Powder, mix together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet. When it’s almost thoroughly mixed, I add the Chocolate Chips. Mix WELL!!

Take your greased muffin pan….normally I use a little Pam….even with my NON STICK PAN…better to be safe than sorry!!! Fill the cups…makes 12 Mufcuits!! I usually leave them in the OVEN for about 18 minutes...remember OVENS vary, so I start checking at the 16 minute mark....just in case!

NOW as a SIDENOTE…..this morning I made them again, but only had ONE BANANA…and NO VANILLA!!  Obliviously I left the VANILLA OUT and the SUBSTITUTE for the lacking BANANA, I added ½ cup of MILK….and it worked out fine!! So….when in doubt, lead the way with your INSTINCTS!
