Black Banana and White Chocolate Muffins

Black Banana and White Chocolate Muffins

What to do with some overripe bananas? I know, make some super yummy muffins with some naughty but nice white chocolate!

Black and white muffin!

Ingredients:

Scary banana!

175g dairy free margarine
100g light brown sugar
2 eggs
150g self raising gluten free flour
75g ground almonds
3 or 4 overripe bananas
125g white chocolate
few drops vanilla essence

Preheat the oven to 170C. Pop 12 muffin cases into a muffin tin (somewhat predictably).

White chocolate

In a large mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon to mix the margarine and sugar together until well mixed together. Add 1 egg at a time and slowly mix together. Do not fret if the mixture curdles. To the rescue comes the flour and ground almonds. Gradually mix together. Without fear or trepidation, move onto the overripe bananas. Remove the peel and then chop the soft banana into medium pieces. Chop the white chocolate into small pieces. Add the bananas, chocolate and essence to the mixture and carefully mix together. 

Hopefully will turn into magic!

Spoon between the 12 muffin cases and pop into the oven for 1 hour until golden brown. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes before enjoying warm or the next day in a packed lunch. 

Voila, the magic!

Peanut butter and white chocolate blondies

Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Blondies

These blondies are very quick and easy as well as less expensive than its brother, the chocolate brownie, due to the avoidance of too much chocolate. It is so yummy though although this recipe uses much less sugar than other recipes out there.
