Banana choc chip muffins



So I buy bananas with the intention of eating them, then before I know it they're over-ripe. I assume tons of people have the same problem. I always try to utilise them in baking but I'm cautious of getting sick of banana baked goods. But today I put that aside and made some good old banana choc chip muffins. Recipe courtesy of NZ Woman's Weekly...

3 mashed bananas
1/2c sugar
100g melted (properly melted!) butter
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
1 1/2c flour
1tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
1- 1 1/2c choc chips

- Preheat oven to 180 deg C
-Combine banana, sugar, butter and egg in a bowl. Stir to combine (this is why it's important that the butter is properly melted)
- Add flour, baking powder and soda, stir to combine, don't over stir. Add choc chips.
- Spoon into muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes.

SO EASY! Verdict: These are delicious! I have given up using muffin cups as I find the grease just saturates them at the bottom, whereas if you sit the muffins on a paper towel when you remove them from the tray some of the excess oil can be removed. I don't recommend using 1 1/2c choc chips, 1 cup should be plenty. I will definitely make these muffins again, not too banana-ry and totally delicious. Microwave it for 20 seconds for a warm, tasty treat. I just think that next time I'll only add about 3/4c of choc chips... They're quite messy to eat with all that chocolate!
