Banana and white chocolate muffins

My mum gave me some bananas that were too ripe for her.  My first thought was "banana bread!" but since I make this all the time (recipe here), I decided to give banana and white chocolate muffins a whirl.

This is how I did it; although I made it up as I went along to be honest!  The muffins ended up more cake-like in texture than muffin-like - but still, perfectly delicious nonetheless!

Ingredients:

2 very ripe bananas, mashed
6oz soft butter/margarine (I used Flora Light)
6oz sugar
2 beaten eggs
100g bar of white chocolate (I used Tesco Value)
8oz-9oz self raising flour (I used Glutafin gluten free white mix)
1.5 tsp baking powder

To make the cakes:

I creamed the butter and sugar together and added the two beaten eggs a bit at a time along with some of the flour.  My little lady mashed the bananas with a fork whilst I did this!  Then I added the remaining flour, the baking powder, the mashed banana and the chocolate, which I'd cut up into small chunks.  My daughter mixed this all together for me.  You may need to add extra flour depending on how wet your bananas are!

From this mixture I filled 12 muffin cases and 12 fairy-cake cases (muffins for the adults, fairy cakes for the kids!).  I baked them in the centre of my fan assisted oven at 160C for about 20 minutes.

After they cooled, I melted another 100g bar of white chocolate and added a dollop to the top of each cake.

The only downside to these muffins - the white chocolate chunks sunk to the bottom; not that this was a huge problem, but next time I think I'll chill the bar of chocolate first, and grate it rather than cutting into chunks, to see if this will allow the chocolate to be more distributed throughout the cakes.

Very tasty!
