2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F Grease 9 muffin cups.
In large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In small bowl beat oil and eggs together. Add bananas and vanilla.
Add wet ingredients to flour mixture, stirring only until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts (do not over mix).
If batter is too dry, add another tablespoon vegetable oil. However, note that muffin batter should be on the thick, lumpy side.
Fill muffin cups to about a 1/4 inches below the rim (about a scant ¼ cup batter per muffin cup).
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let stand several minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool.
