Chocolate Banana Muffins

The plan was to have pasta for dinner tonight.  But, when I got home from work I saw three overripe, sad bananas and of course, I couldn't throw them away; and so I made chocolate banana muffins...You guessed it, from Nigella Kitchen.

Start by mashing the bananas in a bowl and then add some oil, eggs and light brown sugar.  In a separate bowl, mix in the flour, cocoa powder and bicarb.  Mix the dry mixture to the banana mixture, gently.  I think muffin batter should be gently stirred until all the dry ingredients are moistened.  The batter will be lumpy, yes; but lumpy batter makes better muffins.  Spoon the batter into the cases and bake in preheated oven. 


Chocolate banana muffins and red wine. Who says muffins are only for breakfast?!
