A question mums generally struggle with on a weekly basis. You know how it goes: "What would you like for pudding?", "Banana." "Well I haven't got any as last time you didn't eat them, how about a petits filous?" etc etc.
So, we buy bananas and she doesn't eat them, surprise surprise.
Here is an excellent recipe for chocolate banana muffins, care of the gastro tart we all love to hate, Nigella.
Makes 12
3 very ripe/overripe bananas (I only had 2)
125ml vegetable oil
2 large eggs
100g soft light brown sugar (I didn't have any so used a combo of golden caster and some soft dark brown that's been lurking in the cupboard for a while)
225g plain flour
3 x 15ml tblsp best-quality cocoa powder, sifted (bourneville did the job ok)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
line a 12 bun muffin tin with muffin cases (you don't say)
Nigella's instructions slightly simplified here:
Mash up bananas then use hand held mixer to beat in oil, then eggs, then sugar
Chuck the flour, cocoa powder, bicard into a bowl then sieve the lot into the banana mix
Beat it all together with the mixer
Spoon into the cases and bake at 200 degrees c for 15-20 mins
Yummy!
I must say, they were the best muffins I've ever made - nice and spongy as opposed to crumbly. Chocolate chips would add another dimension. Am going to have a crack at adapting this recipe for other flavours as the texture was just spot on.
Poor lone leftover muffin, aw.
