Scale
Muffins

- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons bourbon
- 3/4 cup (6 ounces) semisweet mini chocolate chips

Instructions
Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375F. Grease and flour a muffin tin.
- Sift or whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes in a stand mixer.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating about 1 minute after each. Scrape down the sides and add bananas, lemon juice, and bourbon. Beat until well mixed (it will continue to look slightly separated; that’s okay).
- Add dry ingredients all at once, mixing until it’s ALMOST completely incorporated. Stir in chocolate and nuts.
- Use a large ice cream scoop, if you have one, to fill the muffin tins. If you don’t, use a spoon or spatula to gently shape the tops into a dome. The tins will be almost full.
- Bake 16-22 minutes, or until tops are brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.
Maple Bourbon Glaze
- Whisk ingredients together. When muffins are completely cool, drizzle glaze over muffin tops.
