Banana-yogurt muffins

[metawidget]

These are adapted from Banana-walnut bread from the Bon Appetit Cookbook edited by Barbara Fairchild, but I wanted muffins and can't be bothered with buttermilk and shortening. The yogurt makes them moist and chewy.

Makes 24 muffins. No special equipment required. Contains egg, dairy and flour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sift together into large bowl:

3½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar

Mix and make a well in one side.

In the well, add and mix:

1 ½ cups yogurt (I used 10% Mediterranean-style
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 eggs (add one at a time, mixing in between)
6 mashed very ripe bananas

Mix dry ingredients in gradually as you mix wet ones together in the well. When all is mixed, add:

1 cup chopped chocolate

Pour mixture into greased muffin tins and bake 30 minutes. Allow to cool somewhat before removing them from tins.
