chocolate chip banana muffins

This recipe has been adapted from my favorite old cookbook of my mother's, The Betty Furness Westinghouse Cookbook, now tattered and falling apart. The original recipe is a Banana Layer Cake.

Combine in a large mixing bowl:

1 cup old fashioned oats

3/4 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup canola oil

2 eggs, beaten

1 tsp. vanilla

Add and mix by hand until dry ingredients are blended:

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup white flour

1/2 cup nonfat dry milk

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup toasted wheat germ

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ginger

Fold in 4-5 ripe, smashed bananas.

Spoon into well greased cupcake pans and bake at 375 for 20 minutes, or until done.
