Banana & Chocolate Muffins

This muffin, due to the sugar content, wouldn't be an everyday treat, but it sure would be a nice occasional indulgence!

Ingredients:

Muffins

2 cups oil of choice
4 cups organic sugar or Sucanat
8 large organic or free range eggs
12 mashed ripe bananas
8 cups whole grain flour (or half whole grain, half unbleached)
4 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons aluminum free baking powder
2 teaspoons sea salt
3/4 cup organic milk
1 T organic vanilla extract

Chocolate Sauce

1 pound organic semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup organic milk
1/2 cup organic whipping cream

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour muffin tins or use baking liners, if you prefer.  Combine oil and sugar, then add eggs and bananas.  Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together and add to mixture followed by milk and vanilla.  Mix all ingredients together very well.  Spoon batter into muffin tins, filling 3/4 of the way full.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 15 - 17 minutes.  While baking muffins prepare chocolate sauce topping by melting semi-sweet chocolate over simmering water in a double boiler.  Once chocolate is melted, remove and add milk and whipped cream.  Stir until combined well.  Once muffins are done, serve while still warm and drizzle with chocolate topping.
