1. Step 1

   Preheat oven to 200C or 180C fan-forced.

2. Step 2

   Sift flour into a mixing bowl. Stir in sugar. Make a well in the centre of dry ingredients.

3. Step 3

   Melt butter in a small saucepan or heat-proof bowl in the microwave. Set aside to cool slightly.

4. Step 4

   Add milk, eggs and butter in to dry ingredients, along with mashed banana. Using a wooden spoon, gently mix ingredients until just combined. Stir in choc bits. Don't beat the mixture or the muffins will be tough.

5. Step 5

   Line a muffin tray with paper cases. Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cases. Bake for 20 minutes or until firm on top when lightly touched (get an adult to help with this).

6. Step 6

   Leave in the tray for 3 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a rack to cool.

You can freeze the cooled muffins for up to 1 month. Thaw on the kitchen bench and zap in the microwave for 30 seconds before serving.
