Chocolate Banana Muffin


I still remember LY told me she would like to have a chocolate banana muffin if i wanna bake something for her. Just nice my mum bring some ripe banana back from my grandma house but i short of chocolate chip so i when to the cold storage and bought it.

I always prefer going to cold storage to browse around the supermarket as they offer more variety of grocery product which i can't find in NTUC, Sheng Shiong or Giant. However i realise that cold storage is abit pricey than other competitor but they also have the product that i wanted. After all is still pretty good to shop in there.


I like how the muffin rise UP as can be seen from the picture. I was so happy when i saw my muffin rise, finally. My previous muffin is flat without rising at all even thought i did add in the baking power.

I added alot of chocolate chip and banana paste, although the muffin is not fluffy but i like the chewy and dense texture. Can hardly taste the banana but can taste the wonderful chocolate.

I gave 3 muffin to LY and de other 3 go into my stomach. Actually i only ate 2 and de half. Another half i gave to my mum to try.
