Cupcakes by any other name, these two flavours are wonderful together: the one complements the other in one delightfully moist muffin.
· Mix the flour, cocoa powder and bicarb together and add this mixture, beating gently, to the banana mixture, then spoon it into the prepared papers.
· Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, by which time the muffins should be dark, rounded and ‘peeking proudly’ out of their cases. Allow to cool slightly in their tin before removing to a wire rack.
3. I think this is a really easy recipe and I truly wasn’t expecting such wonderful muffins as these!
I can’t resist showing you these fantastic oya which I used instead of flowers in the middle of the table. Oya refers to the lace that village women make with a very very fine hook/tığ and use to edge headscarfs, like the one I am wearing in my profile picture at the top. I bought these last weekend from a market in the Selçuk area. They’re amazing, aren’t they?
You had me at chocolate to be honest, but adding bananas and muffins into the mix did not hurt! I'm always on the look out for dessert types of receipes as they are my favourite things to cook so thank you very much for this. (Not being a Nigella fan I completely missed out on it) 🙂
These muffins look delicious and I will have to try and make them tomorrow.
I have got some oya in my studio, given to me by my friend Figen of The Knit Box. I will be stocking her beautiful yarns on my website when it launches next week. Beautiful cotton yarns hand spun and dyed in Golcuk. A little bit of Turkey in my home.

Hi Froggie, hi Heike!
I made them again yesterday to take along to a friend's Quiz Night and they were just as lovely as the first time!
H, I look forward to seeing those yarns – can't wait to see the colours! xxxx
Those look delicious and that oya is gorgeous…what a brilliant centerpiece!
Glad you like them, Meeling! I love them!
