Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup olive oil *Nigella uses vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 3/4 cup flour
  • 4 tbsp coco powder *Nigella uses 3 tbsp
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt plus a pinch to top
  • 12 semi-sweet baker's chocolate squares

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mash bananas.
  • Beat in olive oil, eggs, and vanilla, followed by sugar.
  • Using a sieve over the bowl, sift in the flour and cocoa powder. Add baking soda, and salt and stir all until well combined.
  • Spoon batter into well greased (or parchment lined) muffin tins. Add one square of bakers chocolate to each muffin, tucking it into the centre of the muffin, leaving a quarter or so of the square above the batter line.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until the muffins are firm and your kitchen smells like a chocolate factory.
  • Sprinkle a tiny pinch of kosher salt over the tops of the muffins, while the chocolate is still hot and melty.
