Banana and honey muffins (egg/nut free)
« on: May 07, 2013, 01:11:47 am »
Ingredients:

1 large banana
80g raw honey
100g unsalted butter
180g natural yoghurt / buttermilk
120g milk
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
300g plain wholemeal flour
60g rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
90g raw sugar
cinnamon (optional)

Preparation:

1. Pre heat oven to 175C and grease/line muffin tins.
2. Add banana into mixing bowl and blend 3 sec/speed 6. Set aside.
3. Add honey and butter to mixing bowl and melt 2 min/60C/speed 2.
4. Add yoghurt/ buttermilk, milk and bicarbonate soda to butter mixture and combine 15 sec/speed 3.
5. Add flour, oats, baking powder and sugar and mix for 20-30 se/speed 5 until well combined.
6. Add mashed banana and combine 5 sec/speed 5.
7. Spoon into muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes.

Tips:
* I doubled the mixture and used 3 large bananas = 12 regular and 48 mini sized muffins
** I had no yoghurt or buttermilk, so I combined 1/2 cup evaporative milk with equal parts water and a tablespoon of vinegar. Let stand for 5 minutes before adding to mixture. Worked very well :)

Very yummy muffins and moist - not dry ;D

Love it when you can substitute ingredients and still make perfect food Julie without having to race to the shops.  They look great.

:D My pantry and fridge are almost empty and I'm using up whatever I have left until the food shopping is delivered tomorrow afternoon! I find every time I pop in to the shops to just get milk etc. I end up spending $100. Trying to be budget conscious and less wasteful :)
