Pumpkin Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Pumpkin Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

All the kids loved eating these delicious muffins after our 3 Bean Chili tonight. (Click HERE for the chili recipe).   It was pretty easy and didn't have too much sugar since the bananas give it extra sweetness.  These were the motivation behind everyone cleaning up the living room and getting the pajamas on. =)

 

 

RECIPE:

 

 

1 c. all-purpose flour

1 c. whole wheat flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

pinch of salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 c. brown sugar, packed

 

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 ripe bananas

2 eggs

1/4 c. melted coconut oil

1 tsp. vanilla

lots of chocolate chips

 

 

First, mash the bananas in a medium bowl, then add the wet ingredients (pumpkin, 2 eggs, coconut oil, vanilla).  Next, mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl (flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar).  Combine the wet and dry ingredients in the large bowl.  Add the chocolate chips.  Fill muffin cups and bake for 15-20 min. at 350 degrees.

3 Bean Chili Recipe

This is my first recipe post.  When I heard both Talon and Jace say dinner was delicious and they love my cooking, I knew I needed to add the recipe to our blog.  Then I can document which recipes they will for sure love.  Rylee was not so into it, but she was tired and didn't want to eat anything--until it was time for Pumpkin Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. (Muffin recipe HERE). 

 

RECIPE:

1 3/4 c. water
1 6 oz. tomato paste
1/2 white onion, diced
2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
3 chicken broth cubes
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15 oz.) cans black beans, rinsed and drained (or cooked beans from food storage)
2 (15 oz.) cans kidney bean, rinsed
1 (15 oz.) can garbonzo beans, rinsed

Heat all in a large pot for 20-30 min.  We ate ours with cornbread and soda crackers, but it would also be good topped with cheese and/or sour cream.
