This one-bowl recipe for banana muffins is super simple, quick and delicious. With autumn spices, chocolate and sour cherries, these are the perfect, healthy breakfast snack.

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4.

Blitz the oats in a food processor until you have a flour (you can use wheat flour if you don’t have a food processor).

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until you have a smooth purée and stir in the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate spread/chocolate.

Half-fill each muffin pocket with the muffin mixture, place ½ a tsp of the chocolate in the centre of each, then cover with the rest of the mix.

Place on the top shelf of the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes.
