Banana Chocolate Muffins!

Once again I had left over Bananas! So I thought I'd whip them into a quick muffin recipe.

Banana and chocolate together are one of my favourite pairings, banana for the goodness and chocolate for the naughtiness! 

To get started to you'll need: 

225g Self Raising flour

100g Caster sugar

1 Teaspoon baking powder

1/2 Teaspoon salt

150g Cooking chocolate - chopped into chunks

1 Egg

6 Tablespoons milk

2 Tablespoon melted butter

300g Mashed bananas

Also your baking equipment like; a baking pan, mixing bowl and scales. 

Start off by measuring out your flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and chocolate into a bowl.

Mix these together to cover the chocolate in flour and create a well in the middle.

Next put the mashed banana, milk, melted butter and egg into a jug and mix together well. 

Add the wet ingredients into the bowl and mix until combined. Try not to over mix as that will stop your muffins from rising properly. 

Spoon into your muffin cases and put in to the oven for 20-25 minutes. 

Take out of the tin and leave to cool, then enjoy! 

I'd recommend a cup of tea as the perfect accompaniment for these guys.

Banana Flaxseed Oaty muffins!

As I've mentioned before in my banana bread recipe I have a tendency to buy bananas and forget about them. And I did it again, so just as they were turning brown I decided to bake them up into some muffins.

Some healthy muffins. So I pulled out this banana muffin recipe with flaxseed and oats. It's super simple and so yummy!

You'll need:

200g Self Raising Flour
100g Porridge Oats
50g Flaxseed
100g Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
A pinch of salt
1 egg
175ml Milk
75ml Vegetable Oil
1/2 Teaspoon vanilla extract
400g Bananas

Mix together the oats, flaxseeds, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a bowl.

In a jug mix your milk, oil, egg, vanilla extract and mashed bananas.

Mix the liquids into the oats and flour, stir until just combined. Make sure not to over mix, just enough that everything comes together. 

Pop the mix into your muffins cases and put them in the oven at 200' for 15-20 minutes.

Once out pop them on a cooling rack.

And finally ... Enjoy!
