5. White Choc Chip Banana Muffins

When I asked my coworkers last week if they had any requests, I got a couple of quite specific and quite vague requests. One happened to mention they loved banana bread with walnuts, hint hint, nudge nudge. Another said they wanted everything (as long as it's not chocolate... unless it's white chocolate... please). Another asked for the chocolate espresso snowcaps again, which I happily provided (I love them too much not to fill that request). 

So I thought about how I could best fill my coworkers' requests. I can't make a banana bread at the moment, because I don't have a loaf tin in the new place. And I don't especially like walnuts. I also couldn't make everything, due to logistical problems, such as, I had only the weekend and a limited amount of tupperware to store it in. 

White chocolate chip banana muffins seemed the way to go.

They went down pretty well and certainly made the office happy, but I don't feel they've been my best bake. Still, who doesn't like some banana-y goodness in cake form?

Makes 12 muffins

Ingredients

• 4oz (115g) butter

• 4oz (115g) golden caster sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C.

2. Cream together the butter and sugar.

3. Add in the eggs and the banana, either mashed or cut into small pieces (doesn't matter too much either way if you're using an electric mixer).

4. Add in the flour, then the chocolate chips and vanilla extract.

5. Line your muffin tray with muffin cases and divide it up until your cases are about 2/3 full.

6. Bake for 18-20 minutes.

No pictures... I got too excited about eating them...
