Chocalate Banana Muffins

Influenced by Nigella's recipe 

Ingredients 

3 very ripe or overripe bananas

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

 1/2  cup soft light brown sugar ( I think I used 1 cup since I prefer sweeter) 

1 1/2 cup  plain flour

3 tablespoons best-quality cocoa powder (sifted)

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line muffin tins with papers. 

2. Mash the bananas by hand or with a freestanding mixer. Still beating and mashing, add the oil followed by the eggs and sugar.

3. Mix the flour, cocoa powder and bicarb together and add this mixture, beating gently, to the banana mixture, then spoon it into the prepared papers.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, by which time the muffins should be dark, rounded and peeking proudly out of their cases. Allow to cool slightly in their tin before removing to a wire rack.

P.S. This recipe was my first in the new convention oven and came awesome so I loved it :D
