Banana Choc Muffins

INGREDIENTS
30g butter
1 cups self-raising flour
1/4 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 eggs
1 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup (100g) Nestle Dark Choc Bits
METHOD
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a medium muffin tray (6 sections) with paper cases. Melt butter in a small saucepan or heat-proof bowl in the microwave. Set aside to cool slightly.
Sift flour into a mixing bowl. Stir in sugar. Make a well in the centre of dry ingredients.
Using a whisk, lightly beat milk, eggs and butter in a jug. Add to dry ingredients, along with mashed banana. Using a wooden spoon, gently mix ingredients until just combined. Stir in choc bits. Don't beat the mixture or the muffins will be tough.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cases. Bake for 20 minutes or until firm on top when lightly touched. Leave in the tray for 3 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a rack to cool.

Jam Donut Muffin

INGREDIENTS
300 (2 cups) self-raising flour
2/3 cup caster sugar, plus 1/2 cup extra to coat
80ml vegetable oil
1 large egg
175ml buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tsp good-quality strawberry jam
100g unsalted butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
METHOD
Preheat oven to 180°C and grease a 6-hole muffin pan.
Sift the flour into a medium bowl, then add a pinch of salt and the caster sugar. In a jug, combine the vegetable oil, egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Add to the dry mixture and stir to only just combine. Place a spoonful of the mixture in each muffin hole and make an indent in the centre. Fill each indent with a generous 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry jam. Cover the jam with the remaining muffin mixture and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, melt the butter. Combine the extra sugar and the cinnamon in a large bowl. When the muffins are cool enough to handle, brush each muffin with the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar. Serve while still a little warm.
