Banana and Chocolate Rice Muffin

I had some chocolate rice to be finished off and then I chanced upon the recipe here: Nasi Lemak Lover: Banana and Chocolate Rice Cupcakes. I had most of the ingredients and I thought, ok, I will try this. This recipe has a balance ratio of the amount of butter and eggs as all the eggs can be added without the batter curdling. And it is delicious! The chocolate rice on top add on the unexpected crunchiness on the outside while the texture inside is soft and fluffy. This is definitely will be on my to bake again list. ^_^
