Banana chocolate muffins

Ingredients:

• 280g flour
• 60g oats
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

• 130g dark bitter chocolate (vegan, 70% +)
• about 480g of very ripe peeled bananas (3-5 bananas)
• 80g sunflower/canola oil
• 170g sugar

Methods:

• Preheat the oven to 190C. Line the muffin tin with paper liners.
• Combine flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• Chop the chocolate into small cubes.
• Mash bananas with a fork (if they are too hard to do this easily, they won’t make good muffins).
• Add sugar and oil, beat it well with a whisk.
• Add flour mix, mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate.
• Spoon into the muffin tin, making each cup about 3/4 full.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the muffin tin for a couple of minutes, then remove them to cool completely without becoming soggy.

Note: For a vegan recipe use vegan chocolate, or substitute chocolate with a mix of dried cranberries and blanched almonds.
