Light & Fluffy Banana Choc Chip Muffins

Everyone needs a go to recipe for those bananas that are starting to turn a little brown in the fruit bowl. These muffins are simple to make and deliciously light and fluffy. By using really ripe bananas you also cut back on the amount of sugar you need to use. Be warned these are likely to disappear straight out of the oven, so be sure to freeze a few for the lunch boxes before the kids come looking for them.

Ingredients:

80g butter melted

2 medium very ripe bananas

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 cup wholemeal plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

Line a two 6 x 1/2 cup capacity muffin trays. Spoon mixture into muffin casings ensuring not to overfill them (about 3/4 full is fine). Scatter over rolled oats and a tiny bit of raw sugar. Cook for around 20 mins or until a skewer comes out clean and the top is golden.
