Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mash the bananas into a purée.

Melt the butter and add to the purée. Add baking soda and salt then sugar, eggs and vanilla. Finally add the flour a 1/2 cup at a time.

The batter will be THICK! Add the chocolate chips and pecans last and just fold in.

Put muffin liners in your muffin pan AND spray them with cooking spray!

Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup and scoop the batter into the liners.

I fill each liner about 3/4 full.

Bake for about 15- 20 minutes. You can see here that this recipe made 24 muffins plus a small loaf of bread.

Take out and check when the tops are golden brown.

Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. Try to avoid the chocolate!

You know that the muffins are done if you don't have batter on the toothpick!

Let cool and enjoy!
