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.
For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
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.
For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
3 medium - 450 grams (total weight with skin on) - 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 medium - mashed measure of 1⅓ cups - 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/180°C Fan/gas mark 6/400°F and line a 12-bun muffin tin with muffin papers.
Peel and 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.

I used dates & walnuts instead of the butterscotch, as that’s all I had in the pantry, and they are FABULOUS!!!

Just popped them in the oven. These are so simple to make and so fun too! Take your time and enjoy yourself while doing these, and I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Made using chopped up Thornton's fudge and wholemeal SR flour (still added the raising agents though). Very very nice. Don't stud the fudge on the surface alone as it drips down, bits well inside were fine though and didn't 'disappear'.

We made these with 4 very very ripe bananas & leftover lockdown fudge/rolos/toffees, all of the old Christmas Tub assortments that always get left. Totally delicious & so easy, the time consuming part was chopping the sweets.

Once you have beaten eggs and oil don’t be tempted to use electric mixer to beat all other ingredients, it all sticks to the beaters and motor slows down. Best to mix together with wooden spoon.
Really good muffins.

Made these with salted caramel chips, and I had 4 bananas so I replaced a bit of the oil. Turned out delicious!

These is my favourite muffin recipe. I add cinnamon, and when I can get them, I use cinnamon chips (from the USA) instead of butterscotch chips - so good!

Baked a batch of these over the weekend - very simple to make and turned out fantastic ... absolutely delicious (used dark chocolate chunks instead as my local supermarket doesn't sell butterscotch morsels)

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.
