Chocolate Banana Muffins

It's been a while since I posted, mainly because I have mostly been having salad over the summer so haven't tried out much in the way of new recipes. Yesterday, we had too many bananas that just had to be used, so we did banana bread and the chocolate banana muffins, which Isobel described as delicious, so they must be good, given that she hates banana.

Ingredients

2 cups (300g) self raising flour
1/3 cup (65g) caster sugar
100g dark choc bits (I didn't have any choc bits in the house for a change, so used roughly chopped milk chocolate)
2 small (270g) ripe bananas
1 egg
60g butter, melted
1 cup (250ml) milk

Preheat oven to 210°. Grease a 12 hole muffin pan. Sift flour into a large bowl, stir in sugar and chocolate. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas, stir in egg, butter and milk. Add to the flour mixture, stir until just combined, spoon into muffin pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown, turn onto wire rack.


This recipe comes from Good Medicine magazine from April 1999. Being Good Medicine magazine, they recommend that the muffins be as healthy as possible so use skim milk, reduced fat margerine instead of butter and also suggest to use 1 cup of wholemeal SR flour. I'll leave that sort of decision up to you.
