Banana Chocolate Pecan Muffin with Cream Cheese Frosting

Adapted recipe from @matpaabordet, which gives approx. 1 serving makes 12 velvety muffins with a surprisingly crunch from the chocolate pieces.

Ingredients

  • 225 g gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 150 g brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 110 g butter melted
  • 4 x banana
  • 2 x eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder
  • 1 handful pecans
  • 50 g butter
  • 100 g cream cheese
  • 150 g powdered sugar
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 200 g chocolate chips
  • 1 pinch vanilla powder

Method

  1. Measure and mix dry ingredients.
  2. Melt butter. Mash bananas. Add eggs, vanilla and melted butter to your bananas.
  3. Mix dry and wet ingredients with a wooden spoon or spatula until combined. Add chocolate chunks and pecans.
  4. Divide into 12 muffin liners. Bake for 175-180 C for about 20 minutes, but check your muffins after 15 minutes. A toothpick should come out fairly clean, melted chocolate excepted. Let cool.
  5. Beat the room temp butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. Pour into piping bag. Wait until the muffins cool slightly before piping the frosting. Buon apetito!
