Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Let the butter soften at room temperature in advance until it is as soft as whipped cream. Chop the chocolate, melt it in a bain-marie with warm water below 50℃ and set aside. Beat the eggs lightly and set aside. Mix low-gluten flour, cocoa powder and baking powder evenly, then sift the mixture and set aside.
Step 2
Add granulated sugar to the softened butter and beat until it turns pale and has a feathery texture. Pour in the beaten eggs in batches and continue beating, then add the melted chocolate liquid, mix well, then pour in milk and mix evenly.
Step 3
Add the crushed banana puree and mix well, then sift in the flour mixture and mix evenly (do not overmix). Add chocolate chips and mix well.
Step 4
Pour the mixed batter into small paper cupcake liners until they are 8/10 full. You can first transfer the batter into a piping bag, then squeeze it into the small paper cupcake liners. Preheat the oven to 160℃, place the baking tray on the middle rack, and bake for 20 minutes.
