100% Whole Wheat Banana Bread Muffins
Recipe from http://www.wholegraingourmet.com/

1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup packed natural brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup mashed over-ripe bananas
1 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, preferrably 60% cocoa
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place 18 muffins liners into your muffin tins and set aside. Combine flour, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Whisk and set aside. In another large bowl, combine butter, honey, and sugar and beat for two minutes. Add the eggs and beat until just combined. Mix in bananas and vanilla -- do not overmix. Gradually beat in the flour mixture in thirds. Dilute baking soda in ¼ cup hot (not boiling) water, then beat into batter. Stir in, by hand, the chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Pour the batter into the muffin liners and bake at 325 for 20 -25 minutes. (test for doneness being careful not to overbake as it may dry out the bread)
