Muffins to Die For!

CHECK OUT THE CHOC CHIPS! YUMMM THEY PRACTICALLY MELT IN YOUR MOUTH AS YOU BITE!

Guess what? by now you would probably know how
CRAZY I am about MUFFINS ! But you know what - i just can't help but share with you what i made last weekend.

Well you see my parents had come back from a short break from my sister's in
Penang and they had packed some snacks for their train journey - some ham sandwiches and some bananas.

They had 2 bananas tucked away in the fridge. I only
discovered them after a few days (still fresh by the way). So as not to waste them, i decided to whip up a banana plus whatever i had available in my fridge. Viola the most delicious 'Banana, Blackcurrant and Chocolate Chip' version was created! Hope you will try it and ENJOY them...... ours disappeared very quickly!
heres' the ingredients and method:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons backing powder
1 cup sugar (3/4 if you want it less sweet)
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup melted butter or conola oil
2 very ripe bananas
1/2 cup or more blackcurrants

1/2 cup or more chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla essence

Sift flour and backing powder and mix the sugar in a bowl. In a separate bowl beat eggs, add vanilla and milk. Make a well in the bowl with dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture in and very gently stir.

Lastly add in the oil or butter. Fold very gently together with the blackcurrants.
Finally with the use of a spoon or an ice-cream scoop fill the greased muffin pan or paper cups 2/3 full. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on the top of the muffins and bake in an oven at 190-200 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown and the skewer come out clean.

Lots of love
