I'm coming at you with a little mid-week pick me up! If like me, you buy about 40 bananas and then only eat 4 of them, you're left with a big banana bounty just crying out to be fashioned into something tasty! Normally I would just bake some banana bread, but I had no greaseproof paper to line my tin with, so off I went in search of a muffin recipe.
Of course, Mary Berry never fails to provide me with the perfect recipe! Her recipe was for cupcakes though with chocolate icing (which I didn't have), so I decided that mine would be muffins instead. As usual, I adapted the recipe to suit whatever ingredients I had in the cupboard and here's what I did...(click here to see Mary's proper recipe!)
Ingredients:
100g (4oz) butter, softened (I used flora baking marg)
2 eggs
175g (6oz) caster sugar
225g (8oz) self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp milk
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
50g (2oz) chocolate chips
Method:
Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan/Gas mark 4.
Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases .
Again, being a lazy baker, I just slung everything into a blender and then added in the choc chips at the end. Then I spooned the mixture into the muffin cases and baked for about 25 minutes until well risen, golden brown and shrinking away from the cases (Mary's advice).
As usual, I forgot to take photos whilst I was doing all the prep, so instead, here are some muffin porn photos to make you drool! Enjoy! :)
This recipe is super easy and takes about 45 minutes max all in, including baking time. What have you been baking lately?
