Source: Cindy Renfrew

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 Tablespoons margarine or butter
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 Tablespoon white vinegar plus enough milk to make 1/4 cup
2 very ripe bananas
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Heat margarine and unsweetened chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until the chocolate is melted. Stir to combine, and set aside to cool slightly.

Mix vinegar and milk. Set aside till curdled.

Mix flour and baking soda. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Add sugar and beat until well mixed. Add vanilla and eggs, and beat. Add chocolate mixture when cooled, and beat. Alternately add the flour and the milk, beating after each addition. When all is completely mixed and smooth, add in the chocolate chips.

Spoon the mixture into 12 paper-lined muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 1 dozen large muffins.
