BANANA CHOC-CHIP WALNUT MUFFINS

This is a recipe I have been using for ages…not sure where I got it from, but the kids seem to love these. You can omit the walnuts or chocolate chips if you like, or increase or decrease the quantity as desired.
Preheat oven to 190degC/375degF.
Line a 12 muffin regular tray or grease well.

Baking soda – 1/2 tsp
Salt – 1/4 tsp
utter – 1/4 cup + 1 tbs(60gms)
Bananas – 3 / mashed
Sugar – 1/2 cup
Egg yolks – 2 (Reserve the whites for some other use. Whites freeze well!)
Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp
Walnuts – 1/4 cup

Method :
-
Sift the flours + baking soda + baking powder + salt together 3 times. Keep aside.
