Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

These muffins are a stand-by favourite - simple enough that you can throw them together in minutes, delicious enough that you can serve them to unexpected guests or send them with love to a friend in need. They are our every-day favourite.

INGREDIENTS
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
2 mashed bananas
2 cups plain flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

2 handfuls chocolate chips

METHOD

• Preheat oven to 180°C. Beat together the egg, sugar, oil and milk. 
• Add the banana and mix in. 
• Sift in flour and baking powder. 
• Sprinkle in chocolate chips and fold in carefully until just combined (don't overmix or the muffins will be hard). 
• Spoon into two greased patty pans (or line with cupcake papers). Bake for 15 minutes or until the surface springs back when touched. 
• Tip out when cooled and dust with icing sugar.

Enjoy after school with a nice cup of tea or take some to your friend who has just had a new baby (they'll love you forever).
