Method:
1.Sift the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon powder.
2.Preheat the oven at 375 degree F and line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease well.
3.Using a hand blender mix together the sugar ,oil,egg,milk and mashed banana.

5.Fold in the chocolate chips and the nuts.

It's funny but I think I saw them this way on your blog. I make banana nut bread when we have bananas that go bad, but no one would eat it. But when I made them into muffins like you do, they disappeared so fast! It makes them look nicer not to have to try & cut through the chocolate chips and pecans to make slices too.
