Banana and Choc Chip Muffins

My first reaction this morning was Shit! I have 2 pretty ripe (black) bananas which must be eaten. The kids almost gag at the mere idea of a ripe banana and the hubby gave them a look of pure hatred which would see them relegated to the bin. In what I felt was a vain attempt to prevent any more food wastage which is a pet hate of mine I looked to google for inspiration. Now my go to gal for all things baking is Cupcake Jemma, I have never had a recipe fail and even if I do alter her recipes its usually very slightly. This is one of her recipes so full credit to her @cupcakejemma. What I can say is that 2 sad and quite pathetic bananas became 12 of the most gloriously moist, indulgent and fought over muffins. A win for ripe bananas everywhere and a win for mammy (at least today).

What you need:

175g Ripe Bananas (2 large bananas the blacker the better)

125g Self Raising flour 

100g Caster Sugar

25g   Dark brown sugar 

1/4    Teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda

125g Soft Butter

50g   Chocolate Chips

2       Large Eggs

2       Tablespoons of Milk

What you need to do:

1. In a bowl, Mash the bananas with a fork until very smooth.
2. Sieve into a bowl, flour, sugar, brown sugar and bicarbonate of soda.
3. Add in the butter, chocolate chips and eggs. 
4. Beat everything together until its well combined.
5. Add the milk and beat for 1 min.
6. Spoon the mixture into muffin tins.
7. Bake at 170°C for 20-22 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. 
8. Try to hide at least one before your children find them!
