Chocolate Banana Muffins

This recipe is from Nigella's new book Recipes from the heart of the home.

Introduction
I'm not the biggest muffin fan i must admitt, i love a nice cupcake or carrot cake. However i just had to have a go at this recipe because i love chocolate and bananas. I'm also having a new years eve party and thought they would be great to put out on the table.

Appearence
They didn't look as brown as i expected they would be but still looked appertising with the hints of yellow banana. I have also seem much nicer looking muffins than these.

Taste
In my opinion these muffins didn't have a rich enough chocolate flavour and the banana was over powering. The lack of chocolate could be down to the cocao powder i used as it was a cheap brand. Again i added my own touch to the recipe by putting in broken up chocolate pieces, which added a nice touch especially when serve warm.

Extra
This recipe was good but i would definately change it a little by putting more cocoa powder (maybe use a better quality one or even dark chocolate) in and use less banana. I would also recommend serving them warm with vanilla ice cream.

Rating - 5/10
