Food blog – Banana Choc Chip Muffins
Posted: January 26, 2012 at 2:16 pm | Tags: chocolate, food blog, tastyBananas are affordable and plentiful again and I’ve now had my fill so I’m likely to have a couple of them start to turn, the perfect time for them to be turned into muffins or cakes. This recipe is adapted from one I found on Recipe Source. It is enough to make 12 muffins and neatly doubles if required
Utensils:
- Two large bowls
- Wooden spoon
- Electric mixer
- Muffin Tray/s
- Muffin cups (paper or silicon)
- Oven (kinda important)
FIRST THING TO DO ONCE YOU’VE DISCOVERED YOU HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS
- preheat the oven to 180C (350F) I forget this step ALL THE TIME (If you have a fan forced oven, drop the temperature by between 10 – 20 degrees)
Ingredients:
- 2 extra-ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 2 1/4 cups of plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp of cinnamon (more or less according to your taste – I LOVE cinnamon so tend to put more in)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup of chocolate chips (milk or dark according to taste)
Method:
Mash the bananas!
Then in the smaller of your two large bowls, beat mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, melted butter and vanilla until well blended.
