Gluten free banana & chocolate star muffins

The lovely peeps at Musha Makes recently sent me a set of Tulip' Muffin Cases in a Grey star design that are part of the Tilda 'Winter Memories' Collection
So I decided to make gluten free banana & chocolate muffins sprinkled with white chocolate stars for Christmas mornings...


Gluten free banana & chocolate star muffins (makes 16 muffins)

Ingredients

• 150g unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 220g caster sugar
• 1tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 mashed banana
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 150g Gluten free plain flour
• 6 tbsp milk
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 100g white chocolate stars

Cooking instructions

1. Preheat oven to 165C (fan assisted)
2. Line baking tray with cases
3. Cream butter, vanilla extract and sugar using an electric whisk till light and fluffy
4. Slowly whisk in eggs till well combined
5. Gradually add flour, cocoa powder, bicarb of soda and milk until well combined
6. Divide batter between the cases
7. Sprinkle with chocolate stars
8. Bake for about 15-20 mins until muffins bounce back when lightly pressed
9. Place on rack to cool
10. Sprinkle with chocolate stars and dust with icing sugar

Tips...
Butter should be soft enough to hold a thumbprint but still keep its shape.
Eggs should be at room temperature as cold eggs will be harder to keep from curdling.




Have a sweet day!
