YUMMMY. . . A BIG hit at home... already made 4 batches!! :)
Ingredients
- YOU WILL NEED FOR THE DRY MIX
- 245 grams plain flour
- 110 grams granulated sugar
- 40 grams light brown sugar
- 1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg. grated. grated we like to freshly grate the nutmeg
- YOU WILL NEDD FOR THE WET MIX
- 2 large eggs. lightly beaten
- 115 grams butter. melted
- 400 grams about 3 mashed ripe bananas
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°f /180°c / Gasmark 5.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, sugars, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and just leave to one side.
- Place the egg, mashed bananas, melted butter and vanilla and in a mixing bowl and mix well together.
- With a wooden spoon, lightly fold the wet ingredients (banana mixture) into the dry ingredients until just combined and batter is thick and chunky. (The essential thing is not to over mix the batter, its not supposed to be smooth and over mixing the batter will make tough, rubbery muffins.
- Line a muffin tray with paper muffin cases, and then fill each case to just below the top with the muffin mixture you can top this with a slice of banana.
- Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes. They are cooked when a skewer inserted into one and then removed comes out clean. Let cool slightly and Serve and Enjoy!

Haha! I can imagine! They don't last long in my house either, and I imagine they won't last long at my student housing at Uni.They make for a great breakfast if you leave them without icing and warm them up slightly too ^^
