Ingredients
- 150 g (1 1/4 Cups) All purpose flour
- 150 g (3/4 Cup) Caster sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 150 (2/3 Cup) g Melted butter (Unsalted)
- 1 Large well-ripen banana
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 165°C (330 F).
- Peel the banana and mash it with a fork until smooth and mushy. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, lightly whisk the egg. Add the caster sugar and whisk briskly for about a minute. Stir in the mashed banana and beat until well combined and fluffy.
- Add the melted butter and mix through. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder, mixing gently until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Grease a muffin tin with a pastry brush (or line with muffin cases). Pour the batter evenly into 6 muffin moulds.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Tips
Always make sure not to over mix the batter at any stage, Over mixing lead to a dense muffin when baked
Always use a good quality butter that has balance of fat and moisture with a smooth texture.
