If your like me, now that bananas are cheap again, I find
I cannot eat them quick enough and they ripen so quick.
Try these and you wont have to throw them out.
Here's a recipe that I made from a few other muffin
recipes and found this combination worked the best,
of course it worked well in my oven anyway.
Banana muffins
Preheat oven to 180c (Fanforced)
Makes 12-24 (Depending on cup size)
Cooking time 10-20 minutes (depending on oven)
Dry mix:
3 cups self raising flour
1/2 cup glucose (powdered)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet mix:
90 grams butter (melted)
1 egg lightly beaten
1+1/4 cup milk (might need a bit more)
3 drops of vinilla essence
2 bananas (peeled and crushed)
Method:
Sift self raising flour into large bowl
add in glucose and ground cinnamon then mix together.
Now make a well in middle of dry mix to allow for wet mix.
I used two large bananas.
I find that crushing the bananas with a fork does a great job,
I mean you want it to be a little chunky so muffins have that
melt in your mouth banana moment. Remember, the bigger the
banana the more the banana moistness. Experiment.
Melt butter and add to mix with banana, egg, milk and vanilla
essence. (Mix lightly together)
Now pour wet mix into dry well and mix.
TIP: dont over stir, once flour is mixed in, stop.
The consistency should be thick and lumpy but be able to slowly
roll off a spoon. You may need to add a little more milk if it
is too thick, but don't make it too thin.
Now place into muffin cups/tray and cook until golden brown on top.
TIP: Dont over fill the cups, 1/2 - 2/3 full. Too much might not
cook so well or take longer.
This was baked in a fanforced oven and they took 10-15 minutes so
results may vary from oven to oven so trial and see.
What I do is once golden brown on top
Allow to cool and lightly dust with more glucose for extra sweet.
You can also make an icing, or add cream, whatever you prefer on top,
personally I prefer them on their own, they are so light and fluffy,
and you get that banana surprise that melts in your mouth. Mmmmmmm!
Please let me know if you have any queries of if you liked them?
Enjoy!
