Equipment

Here's the muffin/cupcake tray I use.

Ingredients

500 g bananas mashed (if you don't have enough banana a little less isn't the end of the world!)
115 g butter softened
115 g light brown sugar
250 g gluten free plain flour (I've also made this with gluten free self raising flour and it works really well, I didn't notice too much difference)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 medium eggs beaten
70 g chocolate chips
Nutella you will need a tsp or so for the centre of each muffin and a little extra to swirl on the top of each

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180C (160C fan).
Cream together the light brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
Next add your beaten eggs alongside your mashed banana (I tend to just mash mine with a fork!). Either by hand or with a whisk, mix your eggs and banana in until combined. At this stage you'll realise how important it is to have very ripe bananas - if they are underripe it's harder for them to combine.
Add your gluten free flour and bicarbonate of soda to the bowl and mix briefly just to combine and so that no dry flour can be seen.
Mix in your chocolate chips.
Put muffin cases into a muffin tray and then spoon in your mixture just under half way.
Then add about a big tsp of Nutella to the centre.
Spoon in more mixture to cover the Nutella.
Get a small amount of Nutella and place it on the top of each muffin. Using a skewer swirl it all around to make a marbled swirly pattern.
Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
Cool briefly in the tin before cooling further on a cooling rack. (I actually like to eat these when they are still slightly warm - they are the best then!!)
Enjoy!
