Ingredients

1 cup self-raising flour
1 courgette
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
1 banana, mashed
2 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
1 egg

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
Grate the courgette, and use your hands to squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
Beat the egg well.
In a large bowl, sift the flour, add the grated courgette, mashed banana, chocolate chips, honey and egg.
Mix everything together without overmixing.
Line the muffin tin with paper cases, and divide the batter between each case.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
Leave to cool completely before removing the muffins from the paper cases.

Notes

You can either squeeze the courgette using your hands, or transfer the grated courgettes to a clean cloth, and squeezing well.
Too much liquid will result in soggy muffins that won't bake well.
Make sure the banana is well ripen, it will add moisture and sweetness to the muffins.
The egg has to be beaten well to get fluffy muffins.
No need to add any milk, the muffins will turn out perfectly without any liquid added.
