Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 large mashed bananas use very ripe ones
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 100 ml oil I use sunflower oil.
  • 3 tbsp Greek yoghurt
  • 1 cup ground almonds
  • 1 cup spelt flour, type 650
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Spread a bit of oil in your muffin baking tin or line it with the baking cups for muffins.
  • Mix the two flours and the baking powder in a bowl and set it aside.
  • In a big bowl mash your bananas. Add the cocoa powder and keep mashing until you have a smooth mix.
  • Add the two eggs and a bit of salt. If you use a hand mixer to beat the eggs you get a fluffier result.
  • Keep mixing and gradually add the oil and the yoghurt.
  • Sift in half of the flower and stir it into the mix with a spatula. Then sift in the second half. I am not a big fan of sifting flower either but I'm beginning to see that it really does make a big difference in fluffiness!
  • Pour the mix into the muffin forms and bake it for 35 minutes at 180 degrees Celcius. Do not overbake it! Even if the top still seems a bit jiggly, take the muffins out. Leave them to cool completely before you remove them from the form.
    Store them in an air-tight container overnight and serve the next day. Enjoy!
