There is one banana in 3 of these muffins, so that is one of your five a day sorted. They are also vegan* so contain no cholesterol. Positively healthy. In the interests of my blog I need to go and make another batch as I really need to get better photos.
* I try and bake vegan as I firmly believe that there is no excuse for eating eggs that are not free range and organic. If you cannot afford quality eggs, then you can bake really well without them, seriously just leave them out!
Substitute finely grated plain chocolate for liquid chocolate, regular cow milk would work in place of the soy milk (I really do not like diary milk, although I can eat cheese and cream literally until the cows come home).

They look scrummy. Shouldn’t you be saving them for breakfast?!
I just made an banana cake from the Eric Lanlard book this evening, I didn’t realise my poor husband had been working his way through all the spotty bananas I’d been saving and I had to mash up the newer ones!
Gail
Didn’t you just say something about having a spotty banana ready and waiting…. these look yum!

Love the sound of liquid chocolate!
I have two, tired near black bananas in the bowl, which I had saved for banana bread, until I realised it used 4 ‘nanas, your muffins will be perfect for them!
