Banana Muffins!!!

Another Yummy Blog for today...I have been crafting, but you'll have to wait until I have given it to it's new owner before I can show you up here!!!

So today it is Lovely Banana Muffins!!!

Preheat oven to 180C.

1/2 Cup of Marg/butter

1/2 Cup of sugar

2 Cups of self raising flour (or 2 cups plain flour and 1 tsp of baking powder)

1 Cup of milk

1 Tsp of vanilla essence/extract

2 Eggs

1 Tsp of bicarbonate of soda

1 1/2 - 2 Cups of mashed banana (about 3 large very ripe bananas)

Optional 1 tsp of cinnamon

1 - Cream together the butter/marg and sugar in a large bowl.

2 - Add in the eggs and combine

3 - Add in the vanilla and cinnamon if your are using it

4 - Mix in the mashed banana, large pieces are kinda nice (they weirdly go purple once they are cooked!!!)

5 - Put the bicarbonate of soda in the milk and stir to dissolve the soda.

6 - Sift in the flour a little at a time alternating with the milk/soda, mixing as you go.

7 - Fill Muffin cases about 2/3 full and cook for around 10-13 mins

(the same mix can be used for a banana cake using a loaf tin and cooking for around 30-40 mins, checking that it isn't burning, check it is cooked by using a skewer in the center. As it is such a wet mix, it can take quite a while to cook, if it beginning to burn, put some foil on the top to protect the cake!!!)

8 - Enjoy!!!
