Method

01 Preheat oven to 180C.

In a big bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients marked *. Stir until well-combined and set aside.

02 In a separate large bowl, whisk the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 6 - 8 mins.

Add eggs one at a time. Whisk until well-combined before adding each one.

Add vanilla essence. Stir to mix well.

Add the mashed banana and the milk. Mix until well-combined.

03 Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 3 batches.

Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not over mix.

Lastly, add the chocolate chips and mix until just combined.

04 Line your muffin pan with cupcake liners or grease them well.

Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin pan until about 80% full.


05 Place muffin pan into the preheated oven. Bake at 180 C/350 F for 30-35 mins.

Test with a skewer inserted into the middle. When the skewer comes up clean, it is done.


06 Remove from oven and transfer the muffins to a cooling rack.
Serve hot or cooled.


Notes

You can use all purpose flour for this recipe but the texture of the cake will not be so fluffy.
For different variations, replace the chocolate chips with crushed walnuts/almonds or raisins or fresh blueberries if preferred.

Adjust oven temperature according to your own oven.
