Banana coconut & chia cupcakes
« on: February 05, 2012, 07:02:31 am »
This is my first time posting a recipe(first time I have ever made one up) and I used cup measurements for a few things instead of weighing so I hope that's ok!

Banana coconut and chia muffins

125 grams butter
125 grams raw sugar
2-3 bananas
2 eggs
1 cup coconut
1 cup wheat bran
1.5 cups plain flour
3 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp chia seeds
50mls milk

Place butter and sugar in the tmx and mix 10 seconds speed 6
Add chopped bananas and mix 5 seconds speed 6
Add eggs mix 5 seconds speed 6
Add remaining ingredients and mix approx 10 seconds speed 4 until just combined.

Cook 15 minutes at 180 degrees.

KerrynN - DeeCat these are yummy! I will definitely make them again, perhaps with a bit less sugar though and maybe even replace with agave syrup (am trying to cut right down on sugar). Anyone suggest how much agave syrup to use in place of 125g sugar?

Kulsha - This turned out really nice. The chia seeds give a great texture and the coconut too! Nice and wholesome. My photo's colouring doesn't do them much justice as I took it on my phone, but in real life they look nice and golden.  I'll make these again, thanks.  Cool

Bananas were on special today for $1.49 so 1 brought quiet a few. Now to let them ripen up a bit to make some of these. Yum yum.

I've been busy making banana recipes today as we have so many! This turned out really nice. The chia seeds give a great texture and the coconut too! Nice and wholesome. My photo's colouring doesn't do them much justice as I took it on my phone, but in real life they look nice and golden.  I'll make these again, thanks.  8)
