    2 eggs
    ⅓ cup mashed banana, about 1 medium
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon ground ginger
    ⅔ cup plain flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    50 grams dark chocolate baking chips

    To serve
    softly whipped cream
    sliced banana
    grated dark chocolate

    6 hole 150ml capacity Texas muffin tim or 6 individual ovenproof ramekins, greased and bases lined with a circle of baking paper

    METHOD

    Preheat the oven to 180C.

    Put the butter, sugar, eggs, banana and vanilla extract in a large bowl and whisk together until smooth.
