breakfast today

We were bored with porridge, we had four black bananas, and some milk that needed using up, and so …

I whipped up a double batch of my tried and trusty banana muffin recipe - I was a bit lazy, and put everything in the Magimix rather than do it separately.  Also I left out the sugar, and put in a couple of dessert spoons of honey, because the bananas were very ripe and I thought they’d be quite sweet enough.

They were.  They were gorgeous.  I’m ashamed to say that we ate four each for breakfast [oink].  There are four left, and I put the remaining batter in two tubs in the freezer, so we can have fresh muffins for breakfast again, *providing* I remember to take the batter out the night before.

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
