Banana Chocolate Chip (Muffin)

August 11, 2012 By Praerna Kartha

banana-cake-1Or Adventures in Sheet Cake 3

2nd August was Rakhi and, even though my brother is away in Switzerland and the other cousins peppered across the globe, I still wanted to keep up tradition and bake something. I much prefer to have some home-made brownies on hand than a box of store bought chocolates.

We were also paid a visit by a friend the night before, who currently has some dietary restrictions with regard to sugar. So I thought I would combine 2 birds with one stone and make one dessert for both days – low in sugar and fat. That way, AK & I could consume copious amounts without feeling guilty.

I decided upon a Banana Oat Muffin recipe from Honey & Jam and made 2 changes – (1) baked it as a sheet cake (because I STILL hadn’t managed to run out and get the muffin liners) and (2) added chocolate chips (because anything that sounds healthy – low sugar & fat – would repel AK on principle). Here’s what I ended up with:

With a little drizzle of maple syrup, it was the perfect accompaniment to iced-coffee-spiked-with-coffee-Patron-Tequila!

Even though Hannah has described the recipe beautifully, I’m going to share a quick recap:

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups flour
1 cup oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup ground white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup mashed bananas
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 – 1/2 cup chocolate chips (according to how chocolate-y you want it)

Method:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180 C/ 400 F, and prepare a 9×13 sheet pan/ cookie tray with butter, butter paper, more butter and flour.
  • Combined all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Beat the egg lightly. Add the milk, oil and vanilla and whisk to combine. Stir in the mashed bananas until well combined.
  • Add the flour mix to the wet ingredients slowly and stir to combine.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 mins, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cut into squares and serve drizzled with some honey, maple syrup or a thick liqeuer like Kahlua/ Tia Maria/ Patron Coffee.
And this is what you’ll end up with…

Happy (Belated) Rakhi…
