Makes: 8-10 muffins
Ingredients
  • • Flour (maida), 130 grams
  • • Baking Powder, 1 teaspoon
  • • Salt, ½ teaspoon
  • • Cocoa Powder, 5 tablespoons
  • • Softened Butter, 50 grams
  • • Sugar, 130 grams (mix of white and dark brown)
  • • Yogurt, 2 tablespoons
  • • Overripe Bananas, 2 (Whizz your bananas in a blender until they turn into a puree)*
  • • Vanilla Essence, 1 teaspoon
  • • Milk, 60 ml
  • *Do not use fresh bananas for this recipe, only overripe bananas that have got lots of black spots on them. Fresh bananas don't produce much flavour.
Method
  1. Take a muffin tray and line it with muffin liners. Keep aside to be used later.
  2. Sieve flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder in a bowl and keep aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk butter until light and fluffy, for 3-4 minutes and add in the sugar. Whisk again until the sugar is completely incorporated, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add in the yogurt, banana puree, vanilla essence and mix.
  5. Preheat your oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Next, add the dry ingredients to wet mixture little by little until completely incorporated and add in the milk at the end. When everything is combined spoon the batter in the muffin liners and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.
  7. Insert a skewer or toothpick in the centre of the muffins to see if they're done. If it comes out clean with a few crumbs its done, if it comes out wet bake until it done. These muffins shouldn't take long but baking time varies with the depth of the muffin tin so keep checking them after the 15 minutes mark!
