Marbeld Chocolate and Banana Muffins


I have been using chocolate a lot lately. I bought large amounts of a Belgium Bittersweet Chocolate I found a few weeks ago, so I have to use it right? Hence the previous posts of the Pot de Creme and the Chocolate Fudge Pound Cake.
Well, now we have the Marbled Chocolate and Banana Muffins.
I used sticks of vegetable oil instead of butter for the first time as an experiment, and I must say they turned out pretty tasty. I also used yogurt instead of milk and instead of more oil based ingredients. They turned out very moist and you can feel better about eating several of them since it's yogurt right?

3 or 4 bananas
1/2 cup vegetable oil stick
1/2 cup yogurt
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
3 oz. bittersweet chocolate melted
Cream oil, sugar and eggs. Mix in yogurt. Mix in dry ingredients until all well blended. Right before ready to put in muffin pan, add chocolate and fold into batter, but not mixed in. Pour into pans and bake for about 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.

My grandmother used to always bring delicious Banana Bread every time she would come over when I was a child. I recently received a copy of the recipe and am looking forward to trying my hand at her creation. Of course, the other day I had some bananas ready for baking and did not have the recipe yet, so here is my Banana and Cream Cheese Muffins recipe, and I will give Grandma's a try soon!

3 or 4 bananas
16 oz. cream cheese
1/3 cup milk
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
Confectioners sugar for dustingSift all dry ingredients together.
Whip cream cheese, milk, and eggs together.
Combine dry and wet together.
Chop bananas and add to batter.
Fill greased muffin tins and bake for about 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.

Ancho Chile Corn Muffins

So, I don't think I have made corn bread before...So my first attempt I decided to throw some things together and see what happened. A little of this, a little of that...Ancho chiles, milk, onions, corn, corn meal, flour, sugar, egg, salt, the usual I suppose.
I must say, pretty damn good. Could be a bit moister for my taste, but the first one? Pretty damn good.
