Banana Espresso Muffins

A muffin tin with some food in it
Yields1 Serving
 3 cups Mashed bananas
 3 cups Fresh milled soft wheat flour*
 ¾ cup Sugar
 2 tsp Instant espresso powder**
 ½ cup Firmly packed light brown sugar
 2 tsp Baking soda
 1 cup Butter, melted
 2 tsp Baking powder
 ½ cup Buttermilk
 2 tsp Salt
 2 Eggs
 1 cup Mini chocolate chips, or more
 2 tsp Vanilla
1

*May also use spelt or red fife flour for beautiful muffins.

**May use double amount of regular instant coffee or grind fresh coffee beans super fine.

Mash bananas until smooth. Stir together bananas, sugars, butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix flour, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Stir until barely combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips. Let muffins rest while oven heats to 375F. Bake 11-13 minutes or till they test done with a toothpick. These are easy to overbake, as they are brown already. If the middle is still soft to the touch, they are probably perfect.

Yield: 24 muffins
