Servings: 14 small muffins
Calories: 256kcal
Equipment
- Muffin tin (35 x 26cm/9 x 4cm) or regular cupcake tin (Cooking times for both are included in the recipe below.)
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups SR flour (or 2 ½ cups plain/all purpose flour + 5 teaspoons baking powder)
- ¾ cup caster sugar / superfine sugar (165 grams)
- ⅓ cup milk (85 ml)
- ½ cup greek or natural yoghurt (unsweetened) (125 ml)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil (60 ml)
- 90 grams butter (melted)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup choc chips (170 grams)
- ⅔ cup shredded coconut (50 grams) optional (plus a little extra to sprinkle on top)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 220 degrees celsius / 430 degrees fahrenheit (fan-forced).
- Sift flour into large mixing bowl. Add sugar and stir to combine.
- Add remaining ingredients, and stir gently to combine. Don't over-stir.
- Prepare muffin tin by greasing well or spraying with oil. If you have the large cafe-style muffin tin, this mixture makes 6-7 muffins. If you have a cupcake-size tin, it makes 14 muffins.
- Spoon mixture into tins. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of shredded coconut on top of each muffin, and place into oven.
- Cook for 5 minutes before turning oven temperature down to 190 degrees celsius / 375 degrees fahrenheit (fan-forced). If you're using a smaller cupcake tin, bake for a further 14 minutes (or until a metal skewer inserted into a muffin comes out clean). If using a cafe-style larger muffin tin, bake for a further 20 minutes (or until a metal skewer inserted into a muffin comes out clean).
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before easing each muffin from the tin and placing on a cooling rack.

Tips:
Don't over-stir. Mix until just combined – and stop right there. Keep going and you won't get that lovely fluffy result you're after.
If you don't have a packet of actual choc chips, roughly chop up block chocolate and then measure out one cup of the chopped chocolate.
