Banana Choc Muffins
So....with Jayden now having to bring lunches and snacks for kinder... I have decided that i need to make his snacks...u know..reduced sugar muffins...hidden veg..etc......so i got all enthuse when i found the eurolab mini cupcake maker on sale from dealsdirect at 14 bucks ...AUD of course....maker was small...easy to use...effortless to clean....
TADA!! my first batch of mini muffins..recipe from http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/Easy-Banana-Cake-L1581.html ...which i amended since J really likes choc...tip..dont add choc chip to hot mixture because it will melt...yes...DUH...but on hindsight..not a bad idea since now the whole muffin is marbled and J can't just pick out all the choc chip to eat....
Banana Choc Mini Muffins...My revised recipe (makes 21)
Ingredients:
125g butter
1/2 cup sugar (i reckon could go lesser depending on type of choc chip)
1tsp vanilla essence
1 egg
2 ripe bananas, mashed
11/2 cup self-raising flour
1/4 cup milk
Choc chip (i used dark, as many or little as u like)
Method:
1. Melt butter, sugar and vanilla essence (let cool else egg will scramble)
2. Add everything else in and mix lightly
3. Put in mini muffin maker for 5 - 7 mins
Muffin came out surprisingly yummy ....Would lurve to put walnuts ...but kinder is nut free....
Verdict:
For keeps...J lurves the muffins...daddy too!
