If your bananas are looking a tad on the black and bruised side, why not turn them into cupcakes? That's exactly what I did on this fine, rainy Monday morning!
Ingredients:
1 mashed banana
2 tbsp non-fat greek yoghurt
1 tsp peanut butter
2 tsp golden caster sugar
3 tbsp flour
Pinch baking powder
Finely chopped dark chocolate
(I also added dessicant coconut for added sweetness and taste/just because I saw it sat in my kitchen cupboard!)
There's no complex method here; just mash the banana, add all wet ingredients and then sift the flour into the mixture. Preheat the oven to 350C/Gas mark 4. Spoon the mixture one-by-one onto your baking tray (I used muffin cases) - the mixture should make around 10 cupcakes. Add a small piece of dark chocolate into the middle of each blob and cover with a little more of the mixture (adds a surprise factor - always a plus!). Cook for 25mins, leave to cool slightly and then... devour.
The entire batch contains approx 335 calories (so 33.5cals per cookie), and the recipe can be shaken up a bit by whatever means you like (sultanas would probs be a nice addition )!
