Chocolate banana muffins
Chocolate banana muffins are especially delicious served warm when the chocolate chunks have melted, making them light, gooey and very chocolatey! They are perfect for packed lunches, parties, picnics or simply to enjoy at home.
Ingredients
- 275 g plain flour (all purpose flour)
- 75 g cocoa powder
- 240 g caster sugar
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 150 g chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
- 3 medium sized eggs
- 125 ml olive oil
- 3 large bananas (slightly overripe)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C, 400 degrees F, gas mark 6.
- If using a bar of chocolate instead of chocolate chips, start by chopping into chunks.
- Add the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder and the chocolate chips or chunks into one of the bowls and mix (the dry ingredients)
- Peel the bananas, place in the second bowl and mash with a fork.
- Add the eggs and olive oil to the mashed bananas and mix (the wet ingredients).
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Place the muffin cases into the muffin tin. Spoon the mixture into each muffin case almost to the top.
