"Simple, delicious & fluffy muffins. Tip: Blending the wet ingredients in a food processor / blender yields nicer muffins!"

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 6 muffins
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 245 g self-raising flour
• 110 g caster sugar
• 50 g light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 bananas
• 1 large egg
• 8 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1⁄2 cup walnuts
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon

directions

1. Sift the flour into a bowl and add the baking powder, salt, sugar & cinnamon.
2. In a food processor / blender (or in a large bowl) mix the vegetable oil with the bananas, egg, melted butter (cooled) & vanilla essence. Put this mixture in a large bowl.
3. Using as little mixing as possible, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients along with half a cup of crushed walnuts. Try to incorporate the ingredients with as little mixing as possible as over-working the batter leads to tougher muffins.
4. Place into muffin cases in a muffin tin and bake in a preheated oven for approx 15 minutes at 180 degrees.
5. This makes approx 6 large muffins but you can make smaller ones if you prefer, which would yield approx 9-12 muffins.
