White chocolate morsels can be used in place of the butterscotch ones and my children seem to love both with equal fervour, though I'm pretty fond of these with dark chocolate chips, too.

Ingredients
Makes: 12 muffins
MetricCups
3 very ripe bananas
125 millilitres vegetable oil
2 large eggs
250 grams plain flour
100 grams caster sugar
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
150 grams butterscotch morsels (or chocolate)
3 very ripe bananas
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1⅔ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup superfine sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butterscotch morsels (or chocolate)
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6/400°F and line a 12-bun muffin tin with muffin papers.
Mash the bananas and set aside for a moment.
Pour the oil into a jug and beat in the eggs.
Put the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder into a large bowl and mix in the beaten-egg-and-oil mixture, followed by the mashed bananas.
Fold in the butterscotch morsels, then place equal quantities in the prepared muffin tin - I use an ice cream scoop and a spatula - and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

Ooooh! Beautiful! Can't wait to try these over the weekend. My husband doesn't like bananas or anything made with bananas for that matter but I do hope that this will change his mind!

OMG - these are amazing! I've always thought that I didn't like bananas in baking but these have changed my mind! Quick to make, a good way to use up overripe bananas and super tasty - what's not to like!

Just made these :) they're super moist. Yum... I added blueberries and made these with white chocolate morsels.. Thanks Nigella for all the amazing recipes!

Baked it twice with great success.. Children's favorite is the one with white chocolate. Chocolate & nuts very nice. My favorite is dark choc + blueberry. Xilit also worked instead of sugar. For me a tiny pinch of salt is a must. Very good for a quick breakfast.

These work really well with gluten free flour. I give them to guests and they don't even realise they are GF muffins!

Just tried this recipe; the taste was delicious and moist but I used mini butterscotch chips, not so good as they melted!

Instead of using fresh bananas I used Banana LorAnn oils which I purchased from The Cake Decorating Company online. They worked so well with this recipe, and don't expire so they were perfect for repeating this recipe multiple times over time.

I have just made these, but substituted 1 cup of mixed nuts (pulsed in food processor) instead of the butterscotch morsels (or chocolate). Made 24. Moist and very moreish. Thank you Nigella.

Hi Nigella, I made these last night for my sons lacrosse game. I had to substitute the caster sugar for powdered sugar, because my market doesn't carry it. I wasn't sure how they were going to come out. They were delicious and the house smelled yummy. Thanks so much for another wonderful recipe. Cyndy from NH.
