Servings: 12 Regular or 10 Large Muffins

Ingredients

  • 100 g ( cups) butter, very soft
  • 2 (2) eggs, room temperature
  • 150 g (5/7 cups) caster sugar
  • 225 g (1 5/7 cups) plain flour
  • 2 teaspoon (2 teaspoon) baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons (3 tablespoons) milk, any type
  • 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) vinegar, cider or white wine
  • 2 (2) very ripe bananas* see notes
  • 200 g ( cups) chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons (4 tablespoons) demerara sugar, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºc (160ºc fan)  and line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Start with the bananas, sugar and butter in a medium mixing bowl. Use an electric hand whisk here if you like. We're looking for the butter and sugar to be completely mixed and the banana to be broken down. It's perfect if there are still some chunks of banana in the mix.
  • Add in the flour, baking powder, eggs, milk and vinegar. Whisk everything well, but take care not to over mix.
  • Mix in the chocolate chips and use a large spoon or an ice cream scoop to drop the muffin mix into the muffin cases. I use about 4 tablespoons of the mix per case which ends up filling about ¾ of the muffin case. This makes 10 large and fluffy bakery-style muffins. If you prefer a smaller muffin then divide the batter between all 12 muffin cases.
  • This is totally optional, but if you have some demerara sugar, then may I suggest that you sprinkle some sugar onto the tops of the muffins before baking. It gives a super crunchy topping that just works stunningly with the chocolate in the muffins and brings out some extra banana flavour.

Notes

  • If your bananas aren't ripe then have no fear. Simple wrap them in some foil and bake them in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. You'll know when they're done because your kitchen will smell like warm banana muffins already, and the banana skins will have turned black and start to split open. Let them cool a little before you peel the bananas out of the hot skins.
  • This recipe makes enough for 12 regular sized muffins or 10 large bakery-style muffins. The nutrition info is for 12 regular sized muffins.
