Ingredients

  • 1 package (14 ounces) banana quick bread and muffin mix
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 tablespoon shortening

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine muffin mix, water, sour cream and egg; stir just until moistened. Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
  2. Fill greased or paper-lined miniature muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
