Ingredients
- 200g wholemeal flour
- 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 90g unsalted butter
- 150g sugar
- 65 g white Chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- butter, for greasing
Icing (optional)
- 200g cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 80g Icing sugar, sifted
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Lightly grease a 12-hold muffin tin or line with paper cases.
- Combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and chocolate chips in a bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a wooden spoon until combined well and there are no lumps.
- Add the flour to the mixture and blend well using a whisk. The consistency should be dry and a bit crumbly.
- Next, stir in the eggs and then fold in the mashed bananas.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each paper case about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until well risen and golden brown on top.
- Cool in a tin for 5 minutes, then take out and cool completely on wire rack before icing.
- To make the icing, ensure the cream cheese is cold and put in a bowl. Beat in the vanilla extract until just blended. Gradually beat in the icing sugar until smooth. It’s best to use well-sifted icing sugar so you don’t get any lumps.
- Using a knife, spread on the cooled cupcakes.
