Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Muffins

Ingredients
10 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 large bananas)
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups Pamela's Baking Mix (Normally I am a Gluten Free Mama girl but I love Pamela's for muffins!)
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly grease 2 muffin pans.

Puree the bananas, sour cream, eggs and vanilla in a food processor.

Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fixed with a whisk attachment. Add the remaining 10 tablespoons butter and mix on medium-low speed until blended, about 30 seconds. Add the banana mixture in 3 batches, scraping the sides of the bowl and mixing on medium speed between each addition. Fold in the nuts and chocolate chips.
