Chocolate Muffins

I've tried and tried, finally I found the right formula for a fluffy, light, moist and not-so-sweet muffins.

Ingredients A.
1 3/4 cup self rising flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup cocoa powder (or less)

Ingredients B.
1 egg (large)
100g butter (melted)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 cup yogurt (fruit flavor or plain) or replacement, see below
1/2 cup milk

Ingredients C.
A handful of dark chocolate chips

Steps:
Mix A together, sift it twice. Add C.
Mix B together
Pour A to B and lightly mix together
Texture should be lumpy, not smooth

Bake at 190C for 12-15 mins or when it is done. Makes about 6 large muffins.
If you use smaller muffin cups, reduce time to 10-12 mins.

If you don't have yogurt, you can use thick cream + juice from half a lemon.

Banana Nut Cookies

This was inspired by a friend who brought me the banana nut cookies from MO 'The Show Me State'. I started searching for recipe online, found one, made some modification. Here you go.

2 2/3 cups flour, all-purpose
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar, light packed
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup butter softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon Bailey Irish Cream liqueur
3/4 cup bananas ripe, mashed
1 cup peacan nuts

Optional: 2 cups chocolate (semi-sweet) chips

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, combine four, soda and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, blend sugars at medium speed.
Add butter and mix to form a grainy paste, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Add egg, liqueur and banana, and beat at medium speed until smooth.
Add the flour mixture, 1 cup of the chocolate chips and the walnuts and blend at low speed until just combined.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart.
Sprinkle cookies with chocolate chips, 6 to 8 per cookie.

Bake 25-27 minutes until cookie edges begin to brown.
Transfer immediately to a cool surface.
