Banana-Chocolate Dessert Shells

Banana-Chocolate Dessert Shells:

3 eggs

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup mashed banana

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Beat eggs on high until pale yellow, thick, and creamy, about 3 minutes. Slowly add 1 tablespoon sugar at a time and continue beating for a total of 2 minutes. Add banana and vanilla extract. Blend well.

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Stir into egg mixture, blending to incorporate without overmixing. Grease a 6-cavity dessert shell pan. Pour 1/3 cup batter in each cavity. Using only half of the chocolate chips, sprinkle some into each cavity. Pour the remaining batter over chocolate chips, filling the cavities no more than 3/4 full. Top off with a sprinkling of the remainder chocolate chips. Bake for 10–13 minutes, checking at the 10-minute mark. Done when an inserted toothpick with a few specks of crumbs. Store in an airtight container. Serves 6.

Note: Best eaten the same day. If kept refrigerated or dries out, microwave each for about 15 seconds or until barely warm to soften before eating.
