Preparation

Preheat oven 400 °F (200 °C). Lightly butter or spray 12-cup non-stick muffin pan.

Sift together flours and baking powder. Reserve.

Combine banana with brown sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, milk and melted butter. Stir in dry ingredients only until blended. Quickly stir in chocolate chips. Do not overbeat.

Spoon mixture into prepared muffin cups. (An ice cream scoop works well for this). Bake 25 min or until browned slightly. Cool on racks.
