Ingredients:

Dry ingredients

• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Wet ingredients

• 50 g butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 250 g bananas, mashed
• 1 tsp vanilla essence

Instructions:

Grease muffin pan, and preheat oven to 220°C.

Mix dry ingredients with a fork in a large bowl.

Melt butter in the microwave in a smaller bowl, add milk, egg, and vanilla essence and mix well.

Mash bananas (250 g = 1 cup, typically 2-3 bananas) and mix into wet ingredients.

Add mixed wet ingredients to mixed dry ingredients, and fold together until flour is dampened but the mixture is not smooth.

Divide mixture evenly between 12 greased muffin pans (about 1/4 cup per pan).

Bake for 12-15 minutes at 220°C, until muffins spring back when pressed in centre.
