Banana Muffins


D bought a big bunch of bananas and we were struggling to finish it quickly as they all were quite ripe at the same time.

Chance upon a tasty 10 min banana bread from bentopet's blogsite.


Looking at the recipe, it was more like a quick muffin recipe than 'bread' to me so here's my adaptation. Its an easy recipe, all you need is a fork and a splatula to mix the ingredients by hand.

Recipe
Makes 12 muffins

2 eggs
130g ripe bananas (without skin)
60g unsalted butter, room temperature
110g brown sugar (more if you have sweeter preference or if bananas taste a little bland)
210g all purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon powder
Pinch salt
1 extra banana sliced for decorations (optional)
roasted chopped nuts (optional)

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and grease muffin tray.
  2. Sieve all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  3. Place all wet ingredients including sugar in a bowl and mix until well incorporated including mashing the bananas.
  4. Fold in flour into wet mixture.
  5. Spoon mixture into muffin tray and bake for about 20 min or until golden brown.

  6. They were soft and tasty served warm.


      Bench notes, if using only 2 egg yolks, add extra 4 tbsp milk.
