Description

Delight in these Mini Chocolate Chip Banana Breads, a perfect sweet treat that combines ripe bananas, melted butter, and luscious milk chocolate chips baked into soft, moist mini loaves. Ideal for a quick snack or a light dessert, these bite-sized breads are easy to prepare and sure to please both kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 1 medium egg
  • 50g melted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 150ml milk
  • 130g self-raising flour
  • 40g milk chocolate chips
  • Spray oil or butter (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C fan. This ensures it reaches the perfect temperature to bake the mini banana breads evenly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the banana (mashed), egg, melted butter, honey, and milk. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the self-raising flour and about three-quarters of the chocolate chips into the wet mix. Mix just until all ingredients are incorporated to keep the texture tender.
  4. Prepare Baking Tin: Grease a 12-hole brownie or muffin tin using spray oil or butter to prevent sticking and help with easy removal after baking.
  5. Fill Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared tin holes, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each portion for a decorative and tasty finish.
  6. Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 minutes. Bake until the banana breads are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the mini banana breads to cool in the tin for a few minutes before gently removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and moisture balance.
  • Ensure not to overmix after adding the flour to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with nuts or dried fruit for variation.
  • If using regular flour, add 1 tsp of baking powder to mimic self-raising flour.
  • These mini breads freeze well; store in an airtight container in the freezer and thaw before serving.
