Original recipe (1X) yields 18 servings

cooking spray
¾ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
6 tablespoons ground flax seed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 ripe bananas, mashed
¾ cup chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
Beat sugar, butter, flax seed, vanilla, and eggs together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Sift flour, salt, and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Mix creamed sugar mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, into the flour mixture until fully incorporated and batter is stiff. Beat bananas into batter with an electric mixer on low. Fold chocolate chips and walnuts into batter; spoon into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Cook's Notes:

I use half whole wheat flour/half white, part agave or honey to increase the 'good for you' factor, and semi-sweet mini-chips to ensure that each bite has chocolate in it.

Also good zapped for 10 seconds and promptly served with vanilla ice cream!

Cilantro, Avocado, Tomato, and Feta Salad

This tomato, avocado, feta salad is extremely good. It's amazing how the cilantro flavor does not overpower the salad.

Asparagus Wrapped in Crisp Prosciutto

Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus is an extremely easy and elegant appetizer. Asparagus spears are wrapped in prosciutto, then baked until crispy. A great dish to make ahead, and bake just before serving.

Bow Ties with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Cream

A delicious creamy sausage pasta dish. A friend gave this recipe to me a few years back, and my family can't seem to get enough of it. It sounds strange with cream in it, but that just enhances the flavor and texture. This is a very easy recipe.

Japanese Onion Soup

The basic Japanese soup that's given out as an appetizer at most Japanese restaurants. Very mild, a bit salty, and a touch of tang. It's a very improvisable recipe; most of the ingredients' quantities can be changed according to taste. Use your favorite mushrooms in this recipe.

Sangria Cocktail

Sangria is a Spanish wine punch that includes chopped fruit and sparkling water for a refreshing summertime cooler.
