ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 cup chocolate chips
• 1⁄4 cup packed brown sugar, plus
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 2 small bananas, very ripe
• 1⁄4 cup spreadable low-fat butter, plus
• 2 tablespoons spreadable low-fat butter
• 8 ounces plain low-fat yogurt
• 1⁄2 cup skim milk
• 1 large egg, beaten

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper baking cups or use a nonstick muffin pan.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips and brown sugar.
3. Using a fork, mash bananas in a medium bowl until they are almost liquid. Melt the low-fat spread in a small saucepan; stir into the bananas. Combine the yogurt, milk and eggs in a large bowl. Add the banana mixture and beat until combined.
4. Add the banana-yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients; sitr just until blended. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake until the muffins are risen, firm to the touch and slightly golden, 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
