Ingrediants
50g Chocolate chips or for a healthier option raisins
3 tbsp fresh orange juice and zest finely grated
140g Plain Flour
140g Wholemeal Flour
1 tbsp Baking Powder
115g Caster Sugar
2 Ripe Bananas
A splash of skimmed milk about 50mls

Put the raisins/chocolate in a bowl, add the orange juice and leave to soak for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with 12 paper cases.
Sift together both types of flour and the baking powder into a large bowl, adding any bran left in the sieve. Stir in the sugar.
Mash the banana and place in a jug, then add a splash of milk or enough to make it into a purée. Place the eggs in a mug and beat lightly.
Then beat in the banana and milk mixture,oil, soaked raisins or chocolate and orange zest. Make a well in the centre of all the dry ingredients and pour in the beaten liquid ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, don't over mix.Spoon the mixture into the paper cases.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until well risen, golden brown and firm to the touch.
Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then serve warm or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
