Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

A household favourite. Everyone who tries these loves them. I have to make these every couple of weeks because my family devours them! Not the recipe if you're looking for something healthy, mind you! Very moist, flavourful, and delicious! The coffee adds a nice dimension. Recipe Source: I've Got to Have THAT Recipe, Too!

Ingredients

• 2 1⁄2 cups flour

1. Preheat oven to 375F (original recipe says 400F, but I find this to be too high).
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. In another bowl, cream margarine and sugar together until fluffy. Add egg, coffee liquid, and mashed bananas.
4. Fold into dry ingredients until moistened.
5. Fold in chocolate chips.
6. Spoon into greased/paper-lined muffin tins and bake for 17-20 minutes, until muffins are springy to touch, or a toothpick inserted in centre muffin comes out clean.
