A Heaping Scoop: Snacks
In a Nutshell:

Healthyish Banana Muffins

I love making a big batch of low-sugar banana muffins (topped with a few chocolate chips, of course). Easy to grab and run, and I feel good that my kids are eating something nutritious!

Mix 112 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and 12 tsp salt in a bowl. Add 1/3 cup melted butter or oil, 3 mashed bananas, 34 cup sugar, and 1 egg and mix well. Scoop into muffin cups, sprinkle a few chocolate chips over each muffin, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes. They freeze beautifully.
