1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup applesauce, sweet or unsweet
8 oz vanilla-flavor lowfat yogurt
10 oz semisweet chocolate chips
2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 375~. In a large bowl, combine the sugar and the egg
and blend well. Add the mashed bananas, applesauce, and yogurt and
stir to combine. Stir in the chocolate chips. In a separate bowl,
combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well
in the center of the flour mixture and pour the wet ingredients into
the well. Stir until just blended. The batter will be lumpy. Pour the
batter evenly into the two 8-cup muffin pans that have been well
greased or lined with paper muffin cups. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or
until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
This is a light-colored muffin so be careful not to overbake. Let the
muffins cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes, then carefully remove and
place on a wire rack to cool.
NOTE: You can substitute two 4-oz jars of banana baby food (such as
Gerber) for the applesauce and use just 1 ripe banana. Or try other
baby food fruits such as pineapple, apple or plum.

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into distant history, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names for example basil, mint and dill. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and wealthy tried to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
