Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins

I love banana bread. It is such a classic baking recipe which I come back to time and time again. I wanted to try something a bit different with this recipe and make the same classic chocolate filled banana bread but now in muffin form! 
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Course Dessert, Snack
Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients
 
 

  • 290 g Bananas as ripe as possible
  • 75 ml Vegetable oil
  • 180 g Sugar I used light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking powder
  • 195 g Flour plain, white, all-purpose
  • 200 g Chocolate chunks I used half dark + half milk chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180°C/ 357F.
  • Smash your bananas up as much as you can, forming a banana paste. You could use a fork for this, or an easier option is to just use a food processor (it makes this way quicker). Once the banana is blended, add the oil, sugar, baking soda + baking powder and flour to the bowl, in that order. Mix together between each ingredient addition. If you used a food processor you could add the ingredients to the food processor instead of the bowl and combine. Once the banana bread batter has formed, add your chocolate chunks and combine.
  • Prep a muffin baking tray with 12 cupcake cases. Spoon in the mixture evenly. Place into the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Once they are out of the oven, leave them to cool fully or enjoy warm straight out of the oven. I think they are best straight out of the oven because of the melted choc! But they are great the next couple of days too. Store in an airtight container or wrapped in cling film/ foil. Enjoy :)
