banana and bran muffins
Who stole the muffin?
We always have a surfeit of bananas here - Riverford deliver them regularly, and I’m not a big fan. We generally make banana bread or banana muffins, and I found a new recipe on the back of the bran flake box that I tried out yesterday for breakfast.
I suspect they would have risen better had I not left the egg out, but they tasted gorgeous, although they were too sweet. I cut the sugar down from 225g to 200g, but I think I’ll try with less next time - far too much of a sugar rush for us
Makes 12 muffins
100g softened butter
200g demerara sugar
1 medium egg
3 bananas, peeled
150g natural yoghurt
225g plain flour
2 tsps baking powder
50g bran flakes
3-4 tbsp milk
Cream the butter and sugar in the food processor.
Add the rest of the ingredients, and blitz.
Divid mixture into a muffin tray (I use a silicon one), and bake for 25 minutes at gas 5, 375F/190C
