Makes 36

Cake-like, moist, delicious and hard to leave alone.  You will want to lock these away. 

140g of plain flour (1 cup)
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
75g of butter, softened (1/3 cup)
100g of sugar
1 medium free range egg
180g of semi sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
1 medium ripe banana, mashed (about 1/2 cup)

Preheat the oven to 190*C/375*F/ gas mark 5.  Line several baking sheets with baking paper and spray with nonstick spray.

Cream the butter and sugar together until light.   Beat in the egg and vanilla.   Beat in the mashed bananas.  Sift together the flour, baking powder,soda and salt. Stir this into the creamed mixture until completely combined.  Stir in the chocolate chips.    Drop by the tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 9 to 12 minutes until nicely puffed and just beginning to brown.  Remove from the oven and let stand on the baking sheets for about five minutes before scooping off onto wire racks to finish cooling completely.  Store in an airtight container.
