Banana Choc Chip Energy Muffins - Real Recipes from Mums

A choc chip muffin that kids love, but packed full of energy to keep them going with bananas and weet-bix at school or afternoon activities.

Ingredients (serves 12)

3 bananas, large, ripe
4 Weet-Bix (or other wheat cereal biscuit)
3/4 cup low fat milk
2 eggs
4 tbspn margarine or softened butter
1 1/2 cups self raising flour, sifted (could use wholemeal self raising if prefer)
1-2 tbspn Honey (depending on personal taste)
1 cup NESTLE BAKERS' CHOICE Choc Bits, Milk or Dark

Method

Preheat oven to 180C. Grease 12 cup muffin tray.
Mash bananas in a large bowl, crumble in the Weet-Bix and add the milk. Stir and allow to absorb and soften for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and margarine. Add to banana mixture.
Sift flour over the wet mix and stir until just combined. Add 1-2 tablespoons of honey (according to personal taste) and 1 cup NESTLE BAKERS' CHOICE Choc Bits and stir through.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden on top, or skewer comes out clean.

Notes

Originally found this recipe online a few years ago, we felt it was sweet enough with the choc chips and banana, so replaced the sugar with 1 tablespoon of honey. We prefer to also use Wholemeal Self Raising Flour and Low Fat milk.

I love the idea of these and will definitely try them. I make a great banana muffin, but am happy to try another way… and my son will love the added choc chips.

What a pity to put unhealthy Nestle Bakers Choice choc bits in this for the rest quite healthy recipe. I would use raw chocolate nibs and also replace the honey with coconut palm syrup or yacon syrup.

I find it hard to split choc-banana from choc-orange. So I might just eat both.
