Banana Choc Chip Muffins

Banana Choc Chip Muffins

There seems to have been a huge resurgence in production of banana bread during covid-19 lockdown. While banana bread is delicious, its dangerously moreish resulting in swift demolishment, which got me thinking, there must be a more sensible, individually portioned alternative.

Such an easy and wonderful tea time treat, these banana chocolate chip muffins are best served slightly warm from the oven. This recipe can also help reduce waste as you want to use ripe bananas, the more black spots the better.

If you don't have or can't find whole spelt flour, you can substitue this with whole wheat flour. To check if your muffins are ready, insert a skewer or toothpick into the centre of one of the muffins. If it comes out clean, your muffins are done.
