In honour of National Baking Week, I thought I would post my latest creation which was born out of frustration and a touch of laziness, if I’m honest!

I came across a Banana and Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe recently and immediately wanted to make them.

My children have started to have packed lunches so I am trying to make them a bit more interesting and save money on shop-bought goods!

I digress, anyway back to the story as Ronnie Corbett would say (ask your mum!), on reading the method I realised I had been sold a pup, these were cupcakes, not muffins.

The recipe wanted the butter and sugar to be creamed together argh. The joy and beauty of muffins to me is the fact that they are so quick and easy to make as you just have to combine 2 bowls of ingredients.

As I wasn’t in the mood for standing with my whisk for 10 minutes I put my thinking hat on. In the past, I have made Banana Muffins, Chocolate Muffins, and Strawberry Banocolate Muffins so I just needed to combine these recipes to come up with what I wanted to bake.

Et voila my Banocolate Chip Muffins were born. As I was in a lazy mood I decided that my gadgets were going to take the strain and opted to blend my bananas instead of mashing them.

I also decided that the Oxo Good Grips Rotary Whisk I’d been sent recently was going to mix all my wet ingredients and sugar together. For my full review of this fab whisk click here.

On my first attempt, I left out the teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda and was expecting the beautiful mixture to come out like rock cakes.

However, although they didn’t rise very much they were dense and delicious.

My second batch was made perfectly and taste-tested on my wider family. The feedback was very positive so I felt they were worthy of a wider audience, so here they are!

How to make Banana & Chocolate Chip Muffins

First blend or mash your bananas.

First, blend or mash the bananas.

Sieve all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl except the caster sugar.

Then whisk all the wet ingredients and sugar together.

Fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture.

Add the chocolate chips then divide the mixture into 12 muffin cases and bake.

Next, remove from the oven and cool muffins on a wire rack.

I especially enjoy these banana & chocolate chip muffins when they a still slightly warm and the chocolate is all gooey!

    It’s great when a creation turns out right, especially when it comes to baking. I’m all for simplifying things. Looks like a good flavour .You have nice lighting on your muffins – couldn’t have been taken today – it’s been pouring down! Nice timing for the upcoming Baking Week Camilla 🙂

      Thank you Jacqueline. Yes, you’re right the photos were taken on Sunday, just as I was rushing out of the door with a tupperware of muffins and biscuits for my parents and sister. Another lot went of to hubby’s mother with the children! I quickly pulled a tablecloth out of the cupboard and a paper plate and hurridly took a few shots just as the sun was coming out from behind a cloud – you’ve got to catch those beams while you can as I don’t have any fancy photographic lighting:-)
