Method

1. Preheat oven to a moderately hot 190˚C.
2. Place muffin cases into 12 cup muffin tin.
3. Mash banana using a fork. Place in a large mixing bowl.
4. Meanwhile, melt butter in a microwave
5. Add milk, egg and melted margarine. Mix with a spoon
6. Stir the flour, sugar and choc bits into the banana mixture. Stir only until ingredients are combined.
7. Spoon mixture into muffin cases.
8. Bake for 20 minutes.

These muffins are delicious and soft. The mixture is a bit runny so the choc chips all sink to the bottom of the pans. Next time it might be a good idea to use a bit less liquid. Hopefully the choc chips will stay spread through the muffins then. When they sink, the muffin pans don’t come off very cleanly.

Method

1. Preheat oven to a moderate (180˚C).
2. Lightly grease 2 oven trays
3. Beat butter, vanilla, egg and sugar in the bowl, with electric mixer until smooth.
4. Mix in dry ingredients, then all chocolates.
5. Drop level tablespoons of the mixture onto the trays, allowing 5cm between each cookie.
6. Bake for around 10 minutes.
7. Stand cookies for 5 minutes then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

There is a lot of sugar and butter in this recipe. it is not good for you at all – just delicious.

We thought the mixture was going to be too dry but we kept stirring the mixture and it turned out just fine.  You could add a touch of milk if you are worried, but only a little.

We wondered about why we didn’t have to spread out the mixture into a cookie shape. We were worried they would cook as little balls. We found out that the mixture spreads itself out into a round cookie shape as it cooks.

The cookies might not look cooked when they first come out of the oven.  They look too soft.  If you wait a while for them to cool down they set a bit harder.  When you eat them they are firm on the outside and chewy on the inside. If you like them crunchy you might like to  cook them a bit longer.
