I made these banana chocolate chip muffins couple of months ago and they were a hit with the kids. I have bananas at home all the time and the last couple overripe ones are the most neglected ones. So I’m looking for recipes to use them up. This recipe is from King Arthur Flour’s ‘Whole Grain Baking‘ cookbook.

The best thing about this recipe is that it uses ultra ripe mottled bananas which is usually what I end up after a week of eating bananas. Also these are made with 100% Whole wheat flourThese muffins are very moist and pleasantly dense.

It has been a busy and fun weekend with my aunt and uncle visiting us. We took them to New York and saw Lady Liberty after a long time. We also went to 911Memorial. Even though we live very very close to New York and see the NYC skyline everyday this is the first time we went to the memorial. The new freedom tower is so magnificent and breathtaking. I don’t have the pictures of either Statue of Liberty or the memorial, I have pics of the beautiful NYC skyline and the pirate boat.

  6. Hi Radhika, the wholewheat flour we get here is a little different than the one in India. But you can definitely try using Indian chapathi flour.
