Chocolate Lover's Banana Muffins
Prep: 15 Minutes - Cook: 25 Minutes - Easy - Makes 6
Proudly supported by

Dutch-pressed cocoa is darker than regular cocoa and imparts a rich chocolate flavour. It’s available from supermarkets. Muffins can be made up to three days ahead. Store in an airtight container. Refrigerate in hot weather. 

Ingredients

1 cup self-raising flour

2 tablespoons plain flour

¼ cup Dutch-pressed cocoa powder

¾ cup caster sugar

100g dark cooking chocolate, chopped

125g unsalted butter, melted

1 egg

2/3 cup sour cream

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

¾ cup soft, over-ripe mashed banana

Method

  1. Line a 6-hole Texan muffin pan (3/4-cup capacity) with large paper muffin wraps.

  2. Sift combined flours and cocoa into a large bowl. Stir in sugar and half the chocolate.

  3. Place butter, egg, sour cream and vanilla in a large jug. Whisk well. Add to flour mixture with banana. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.

  4. Spoon evenly into muffin wraps. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate.

  5. Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for about 25 minutes, or until muffins spring back when lightly touched in the centre. Remove from oven. Stand in pan 5 minutes. 

  6. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool before serving.
