Title: Recipe Review - Muffins (Everyday Cookbook)
Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on January 05, 2012, 02:06:54 am
Recipe Name: Muffins

Recipe Book: Everyday Cookbook (page 123 in Jan 2009 edition)

Tweaking:
I make these with 300g of plain flour (not wholemeal) and 3 tsp of baking powder. I have found 1 medium very ripe mashed banana and 180g choc chips works well.  I tried two medium bananas but the mixture was too heavy. I mix the main ingredients for 8 seconds on speed 4 and then scrape down the sides and add the mashed banana and choc chips.  I then mix for a further 6-7 seconds on reverse speed 4.  If it needs a little more mixing I do it with the spatula to avoid over mixing.

Verdict: We really enjoy these and I have been making them often. They freeze well wrapped individually in plastic and are an easy lunchbox snack.

It's nice to see the EDC come up trumps for a change. Thanks for the review.

They are very good.  I am often reluctant to try things from the EDC, but it actually does have some decent recipes. Last time I made these with 3 tsp of baking powder and they were even better.  I will amend my original review to include that.  :)

I've made most of the things from the EDC, some of them need a few tweaks here and there, but generally they're all fab.
