source   :    Joy of Baking; (moist & delicious)...




Ingredients :

1 3/4  cups  all-purpose flour  (225 gm)
   1/2  cup  white granulated sugar  (100 gm)
   1/4  cup  light brown sugar  (55 gm)
      1  tsp  baking powder
   1/2  tsp  baking soda
   1/4  tsp  salt
   1/2  cup  white chocolate chips or chunks  (65 gm)  -  I used white & dark chocolate chips
      3  large  ripe bananas  (approximately 454 gm) - mashed well, (about 1 1/2 cups)
   1/2  cup  unsalted butter  -  melted & cooled  (113 gm)
      2  large  eggs  -  lightly beaten
      1  tsp  vanilla extract


Method :

1.  Preheat oven to 350'F/180'C.  Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.  Set aside.

2.  In a large bowl, combine the flour, both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt and white chocolate chips.

3.  In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract.  With a spatula, lightly fold in the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined and the batter is thick and chunky.  (The important thing is not to over mix the batter.  Over mixing the batter will yield tough, rubbery muffins).

4.  Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins.  Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothick inserted comes out clean.
