Introduction
These tender and delicious banana choc chip muffins are easy to make and perfect for lunchboxes or afternoon snacks. We’ve used dark chocolate chips for a more intense chocolate flavour, but you could also try substituting half for milk choc chips.
Ingredients
- 185g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 125g butter or non-dairy spread
- 3 large overripe bananas, mashed
- 175g soft light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g dark chocolate chips
Method
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 200°C / 180°C fan and line a muffin tin with papers.
- 2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a small bowl, set aside.
- 3. Melt the butter in the microwave in a microwave safe dish. Leave to cool for about 5 minutes.
- 4. While butter is cooling, mix together the mashed bananas, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Once butter has cooled slightly, add this to the wet ingredients and mix well.
- 5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until there are no visible dry streaks. Tip: For the best muffins, it’s better to have a slightly lumpy batter!
- 6. Add the chocolate chips and fold through.
- 7. Spoon the batter evenly between the lined muffin tin. Place in the oven and drop the temperature to 180°C / 160°C fan, then bake until a toothpick comes out without any raw batter on it, about 20 minutes.
- 8. Leave to cool in the muffin tin on a wire rack for about 5 minutes, then remove from the tin and leave to cool completely.
- 9. Store at room temperature in a sealed container for about 3 days, or up to 5 days if kept in the fridge. Muffins can also be frozen for up to 3 months in sealed freezer bags.
