Banana Chia Muffins

Dear Turkey,

Are you sick of all my healthy, vegan-y, as-few-ingredients-as-possible, "I can't be bothered to buy eggs" baking? If so, these muffins are for you. Except, um, they have chia seeds. But you can't even taste them.

These are big, chewy, satisfying muffins, almost like the ones that you get in a coffee shop (minus 400 calories). I made them even bigger because the recipe originally said to make 18, and I am opposed to muffin recipes that don't come to an even dozen.

Big Banana Chia Muffins
(makes 12)

Ingredients:
- 2 c oatmeal
- 1 1/4 c whole wheat flour
- 1/2 c brown sugar
- 2 T chia seeds (or flax, sesame, whatever you've got)
- 2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1 t salt
- 1 t cinnamon
- 1/2 t ground ginger
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 c buttermilk
- 2 T canola oil
- 1 egg
- 1 c chocolate chips

Instructions:
- Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips until just combined.
- Spoon into 12 muffin cups (I used muffin papers).
- Place 5-10 chocolate chips on the top of each muffin.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

Enjoy,
Tofu
