My daughter loves tucking into these muffins, whether its first thing in the morning with her tea or on the road to keep her going between meals! These are super-easy and freeze really well, so I always double up my batch when cooking.

Ingredients

Method
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • ½ cup canola or sunflower oil
  • 1 t vanilla extract
  • 2 large free-range eggs
  • 180 g flour
  • 150 g brown sugar
  • 1 t bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ t salt
  • 1 t ground cinnamon
  • coconut flakes or sunflower seeds, to decorate

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C and grease a 12-hole muffin pan. Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth, then add the wet ingredients and mix to incorporate.

2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then spoon the batter into the greased muffin tray, sprinkle with seeds or coconut flakes and bake for 5 minutes. Reduce the oven’s temperature to 180°C and bake for a further 15 minutes or until cooked through.

3. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely. Freeze in Ziploc bags or in a freezerproof container. Thaw overnight in the fridge and microwave for a few seconds before eating.
