Home Economics: Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Hi there! 

This blog post is from late May 2020.

Today I will be writing about how I made Dairy Free Banana Chocolate Muffins.

Ingredients:

• 2 c self raising flour 
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/2 c dairy free chocolate chips
• 100g butter
• 1 c soy milk
• 1 egg 
• 1 c mashed bananas (2-3)
• 1 t vanilla essence
• 100g dairy free spread

Method:

1.  Mix flour, salt, caster sugar & chocolate chips in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl melt butter then add milk, and egg and beat to combine
3. Mash & measure the bananas and add to liquid ingredients
4. Tip liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Fold carefully. Do not overmix.
5. Carefully spoon muffin batter into prepared muffin tins (line with paper cases.)
6. Optional topping: Mix 1 T sugar & 1/2 t cinnamon and sprinkle over top of muffins. Drop some chocolate bits on each.
7. Bake at 220°C for 12-15 mins, testing to check if muffin is cooked. Cool for 2-3 mins before removing from pan.
