Chocolate Banana Swirl Muffins

Makes 12

Ingredients
100g unsalted butter
250g self raising flour
150g muscovado sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
250g peeled ripe bananas (2-3)
3 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp hot water

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180c/160 fan. Put the butter in the saucepan and melt gently over low heat. Leave to cool. Sift the flour and sugar in to a mixing bowl and stir to break up any lumps.
2. Add the eggs to the cool butter and mix well with a fork. Use the fork to mash the bananas on a plate. Add the egg mixture and the bananas to the flour mixture and mix well with the wooden spoon. Spoon half of the mixture in to another mixing bowl.
3. Put the cocoa in to a heat proof bowl and carefully stir in the hot water to make a smooth paste. Stir the cocoa paste in to one portion of the banana mixture. 
4. Add alternate spoonfuls of the banana mix and cocoa mix to the muffin cases. Swirl the two together using a small toothpick or the end of a spoon.
5. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
