Ingredients

2 1/4 cups self-rising flour
51/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup pecans, chopped, toasted
3/4 cup brown sugar
10.5 oz peeled bananas, mashed
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 None large eggs, lightly beaten
12 squares milk chocolate
24 slices dried banana

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
Sift flour and baking soda into a large bowl. Stir in pecans and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, buttermilk, oil and eggs. Mix into flour mixture until just combined. Spoon 1 tbsp batter into each muffin recess. Top with a square of chocolate. Top with remaining batter, until each recess is 3/4 full. Arrange 2 dried banana slices on top of each. Bake for 20-25 mins, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Serve warm.
