Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 to 1 cup mashed bananas
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 TBS canola oil
6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Glaze
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 TBS butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
Powdered sugar, if desired

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add bananas, egg and vanilla. Continue to beat and scrape bowl often until well mixed. Reduce the speed to low and add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and oil. Beat until well mixed.

Place one tortilla on a large surface or plate. Spread 1/6 of the batter onto the tortilla and top with chocolate chips. Roll burrito and place in a greased 2-quart baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

For the glaze, melt the chocolate chips and butter with the cocoa in a 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted (4 to 6 minutes). Drizzle glaze over the burritos. Bake in the oven 20-25 minutes until golden. You may sprinkle powdered sugar on top, if desired.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
