What is special about this banana muffin recipe?

Banana muffins are a great way to use up ripe bananas that might otherwise go to waste (think about the environment). Whenever I have bananas to use imminently I really like this recipe or my Almond Flour Banana Bread recipe that I manage to bake in no time without any worry cause they always taste awesome. I also love using ingredients and transforming them into a tasty treat that the whole family adores.

Baking can also be really fun and rewarding and thanks to Mary Berry’s recipes I had the opportunity to explore different kinds of recipes adding up to my creativity. It’s also a great way to make my kids enjoy themselves while the batch of muffins lasts!

How do you prepare the Mary Berry Banana Muffins

Ingredients

FOR THE MUFFINS

8 oz self-raising flour
4 oz butter, softened
2 eggs
6 oz caster sugar
1 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp milk
2 bananas (very ripe), mashed
2 oz chocolate chips

FOR THE ICING

2 oz dark chocolate, melted

How to prepare the banana muffins

Begin by preheating the oven to 180 degrees and preparing a muffin tin with 12 paper cases.
In a bowl, gather the butter, eggs, caster sugar, flour, baking powder, milk, and bananas. Combine these ingredients by beating them together until well mixed. Then, incorporate the chocolate chips into the mixture.
Using a spoon, carefully distribute the batter into the prepared paper cases. Place the tin in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes until the muffins are beautifully risen and have a golden hue. Once done, remove the cases from the tin and set them aside to cool.
If desired, you have the option to enhance the muffins by drizzling melted chocolate over them. You can achieve this by either using a teaspoon or a piping bag.
