Banana Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Muffins

I have had some seriously majorly ripe bananas sitting on the counter for a while now.  Like really really squishy ripe.  So I made these muffins with my youngest Hungry Puppy.  They are moist inside with a slightly crisp top that gives some texture to the bite.  We added peanut butter chips and chocolate chips for a fun little twist on a classic muffin.

Banana Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Muffins

3 very ripe medium bananas
1 egg
1/3 cup canola oil
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375F.  Spray a 12 inch muffin tin with cooking spray. Set aside.

Peel the bananas and place them in a large bowl. With a large mixing spoon or whisk, mash the bananas until only very small chunks are left.  This should be very easy because the bananas are so soft.  Stir in the egg, followed by the oil, followed by the sugar, until blended.  Add the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Stir until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.  Stir in the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.  Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Remove muffins from the oven and immediately turn out of the pan and let cool completely on a cooling rack.  Makes 12 muffins.
