Class 75 – Chocolate Banana Muffins

The recipe makes 12 muffins but only 3 are required for judging.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium – 450 grams (total weight with skin on) – very ripe or overripe bananas
  • 125 millilitres vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100 grams soft light brown sugar
  • 225 grams plain flour
  • 3 tablespoons best-quality cocoa powder (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/400°F/gas mark 6 and line a 12-bun muffin tin with muffin cases.
  2. Peel and mash the bananas by hand or with a freestanding mixer. Still beating and mashing, add the oil followed by the eggs and sugar.
  3. Mix the flour, cocoa powder and bicarb together and add this mixture, beating gently, to the banana mixture, then spoon it into the prepared case.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, by which time the muffins should be dark, rounded and peeking proudly out of their cases. Allow to cool slightly in their tin before removing to a wire rack.
