Banana Bread Muffins

Ultimate Banana Bread Muffins With Chocolate Chips

Well, after that introduction what is left to say. Banana Bread is a classic loved by most, I have enjoyed making this recipe for years and have now started making it with my son. This time around we have decided to make muffins just to change things up a little.

Meet the chef, Beau 4 yrs old

The recipe makes 8 light, moist and fluffy banana muffins. Which on their own are great just as they are, but to make them that little bit more special, we have topped them off with some yummy buttercream, "ummm buttercream" what can be better!

These yummy muffins are perfect for breakfast, well without the buttercream, usually when I make these as a quick on the go breakfast muffin, I would mix in some pecan nuts instead of the chocolate chips.

These are definitely one to try, you would love them, why not get the kids involved. They enjoy eating what they've made and this recipe is a great introduction to baking.

Recipe 

230g plain flour
130g caster sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt

3  ripe medium bananas
2 eggs
75 ml vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
85g mix-ins such as chocolate chips or nuts.

Method 

Pre heat the oven to 180 °C, line your muffin tray with 8 cases or if making a loaf grease and line a 9" x 5" loaf tin.

In a medium sized bowl sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and bicarb.

In a separate medium size bowl mash the bananas, add the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla and mix well.

Add the mix-ins to the flour mixture if using.  In two stages pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and stir to combine.

If making muffins evenly fill 8 muffin cases, or if making a loaf pour the entire mixture into your loaf tin.

Bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until an inserted sewer comes out clean.
