Ingredients for Banana Weet Bix Choc Chip Muffins

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • Weet Bix
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (115g) softened margarine
  • Self Raising Flour
  • Brown Sugar
  • Chocolate Chips

How to Make Banana Weet Bix Choc Chip Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly using a fork.
  3. Add the crushed Weet-Bix and milk to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the Weet-Bix to soften.
  4. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened margarine and eggs until light and fluffy.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients (margarine-egg mixture) into the banana and Weet-Bix mixture.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  8. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
