Instructions

- 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/160ºC if fan/gas mark 5.
-
Prepare a cup cake tray with 6 paper cases. in a large bowl add the bananas and sugar. In another bowl, add flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Have the water and oil ready and chocolate chips if using.
-
Using a fork, mash the bananas well until soft. Add the oil and water and mix well to combine all the ingredients together.
-
Next, use a sieve to add the flour mixture to the banana mixture. Gently fold the flour into the banana mixture using a wooden spoon or spatula, then add in the chocolate chips if using, and fold in.
-
Place 3, 4 tablespoons of the mixture into each cupcake case, level off the top of the cakes with the back of a spoon, then place into the oven and bake for 22 minutes until golden brown on top. Use a toothpick to test if the cupcakes are cooked in the middle. If they have not cooked through, allow to cook for another 5 minutes before removing from the oven.
-
Cool in the tray for 10 minutes before removing and placing on a cooling rack to cool completely. Will remain in an airtight container for up to 3, 5 days (keep in the fridge during the summer to keep fresh and remove and bring back to room temperature before eating). Enjoy..
