Equipment

electric hand mixer
Silicone Muffin Pan Regular size, 12-cup (some may call this a cupcake pan)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

300 g whole wheat flour sieved if possible
90 g light brown sugar
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
130 g dark chocolate chips & extra for adding to the top

Wet Ingredients:

3 large bananas mashed
3 large leggs
250 mls milk of choice I used low fat cows milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoon olive oil light or virgin

Instructions

First, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C)
Prepare your muffin pan. If possible, I recommend a silicone, non-stick muffin pan. Instead of using muffin liners, spray your tin with cooking oil.
Place the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix them together. If you can, sieve the whole wheat flour and baking soda (this introduces air-making for bouncier muffins).
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. If you have an electric hand whisk, use it. If not, make sure everything is mashed well with minimal lumps.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth. Avoid over-mixing.
Transfer the batter to the muffin tin. Fill each one to the top and add a few more chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C) AND BAKE FOR A FURTHER 15-20 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
