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

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.
Tips
- Batch Cooking: It is possible to prepare the cakes a day in advance.
- Freezing: The cooked cakes can be frozen for up to 3 months with good results.
- AGA Cooking: For AGA cooking, place the cakes on the grid shelf at the bottom of the roasting oven. Place a cold sheet on the second set of runners and bake for 20-25 minutes.
