Banana & White Chocolate Muffins

I had quite a few ripe bananas at home and instead of throwing them away, decided to do some baking this morning. Especially since I've been craving cake...which is pretty much everyday but nothing beats home baked goodies over the shop bought ones!

I dug out one of my Nigella Lawson recipe books and found the recipe for these muffins. They taste utterly amazing, the sponge is moist and it contains 3 bananas so counts towards your 5 a day, right?!

What I love about these is they're quick and easy to make so are ready in no time.

The recipe actually uses butterscotch morsels but Tesco didn't sell them so I chose white chocolate instead, which works really well but I will hunt down butterscotch from somewhere and re-make these bad boys!

Ingredients:

• 3 very ripe bananas 
• 125ml vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 250g plain flour
• 100g caster sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 150g white chocolate morsels 

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6 and line a 12 bun muffin tin with muffin cases.

Mash the bananas and set aside for a moment.

Pour the oil in a jug and beat in the eggs.

Put the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder into a large bowl and mix in the beaten-egg-and-oil mixture, followed by the mashed bananas.

Fold in the white chocolate morsels, then place equal quantities in the prepared muffin tine and bake for 20 minutes.

Take out of the oven and allow to cool slightly before lacing the muffins onto a cool rack.
