Banana Chocolate Muffins


This recipe is so easy and fast that I succeeded with the first attempt. A banana muffin recipe of course requires banana. If you have those really REALLY ripe bananas which can't be easily eaten raw, fred not. You can just throw those in this recipe and it will turn out like heaven! As this recipe uses vegetable oil instead of butter or regular oil, it is a lot healthier. So for those health-conscious people, this will be your eating-spree! Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 125ml vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 250g flour
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 150g chocolate/ raisins (optional)


Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degree celsius and line a 12-bun muffin tin with muffin papers
  2. Pour the oil into a measuring cup and beat in the eggs
  3. Measure dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder) and out them in to a large bowl
  4. Mash the bananas
  5. Mix in the beaten-egg-and-oil mixture, followed by the mashed bananas
  6. Fold in your chocolates/ raisins
  7. Place equal quantities into prepared muffin tins. Fill them up to 3/4 of each muffin paper, not more. Bake for 20 minutes.
Makes 12


PS. I have already reduced the sugar content by half from its original recipe because I don't like food to be too sweet.
