One of my biggest weakness's is a muffin with my latte, but there great. There is not a time of day you cannot eat a muffin, breakfast lunch, dinner, supper. A lazy Sunday morning lazing in bed reading the papers with a coffee and a muffin. That's the stuff dreams are made of. There are so many different kinds too, Blueberry or caramel, must be my favourites.
Muffins are so simple to make, have a go with these breakfast Muffins.
Banana Bran Muffins
3 ripe medium bananas
75 g / 3 oz unsalted butter
2 medium eggs
240 mls / 8 fl oz semi-skimmed milk
200 g / 7 oz plain flour
2 tsps baking powder
75 g / 3 oz Light SoftBrown Sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
25 g / 1 oz bran (cereal bran)
The addition of Light Brown Sugar enhances the flavour of the bananas. These muffins are great for those that can't resist muffins from coffee shops. Just see how quick and easy it is to make your own.
1Preheat oven to 190? C / 375? F / Gas 5.
Line a twelve-hole muffin tin with paper muffin cases. Melt the butter in a small pan over a moderate heat or in a microwave. In a medium bowl mash the bananas using a fork and add the eggs, semi-skimmed milk and melted butter and stir in together.
2 Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and cinnamon together into another bowl and stir in the bran. Tip the dry ingredients into the wet and gently fold together.
3 Spoon the mixture into the cases, filling them three-quarters full. Bake in the middle of the pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they have turned golden brown in colour. Remove the muffins from the tin and allow to cool on a wire rack.
