Banana Chocolate Muffins
I'm a happy girl coz the banana muffins I baked today turned out to be mouth-watering good :) The recipe's good! The muffins are moist and nice.

Sean casually mentioned he wanted to eat banana muffins or something during Genevieve's birthday party coz her birthday cake was a banana chocolate cake. So I've decided to bake him some muffins as a surprise. My first time trying this recipe, had a hard time half way because the butter refused to melt properly. Hate to deal with butter whenever I bake because they're so hard to stir.

Here's the recipe I used:

I did not change the ingredients from the original recipe. What I did change was the method of baking.

1st step: In a bowl - Sift the flour, mix flour with brown sugar. baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir chocolate chips in.

2nd step - Prepare the bananas. Divide the bananas into 2 bowls. Blend one bowl (Bowl A) of bananas well (use a blender) As for the second bowl of bananas (Bowl B), chop it into small chunky bits.

Stir together milk, butter, and eggs. Mix with well blended bananas (Bowl A). Add mixture into blender to blend the butter in.

Extract mixture from blender and stir in chunks of bananas (Bowl B). Add final mixture to the bowl of flour, sugar etc. (prepared in step 1), stir in the flour. Do not overmix the mixture. Batter will be slightly sticky. Fill the batter into approximately 11 muffins cups. Pre-heat the oven and place muffin cups into the oven. Bake till muffins turn slightly brown. Use a toothpick to check if the muffins are ready.

Let it cool and its ready to serve!

Here are some pictures of the final product:

I must say these taste nicer than the chocolate muffins I always bake. Sean gobbled 3 of them up at once. Haha. I gave some for my mummy to taste but she complain of the chocolate inside coz she's not a fan of chocolate. She said she was looking forward to some pure banana muffins. Sensing her disappointment, I made a new batch of pure banana muffins at night. I increase the sugar to 3/4 cup for the pure banana muffins.

Pure banana muffins

Hmmmm personally I think the chocolate banana muffins taste nicer. I think I'll just leave a few pure banana muffins. As for the rest of the pure banana muffins, I shall melt some baking chocolate and drizzle it over the top of the muffins tmr morning.

So that ends the day of baking 'frenzy'. Next mission - Chewy white chocolate, chocolate cookies!
