I made muffins from the basic Susaim Reimer recipe and added some coconut and yippee they are fine, so thanks Foxy for your tips, still reckon they would be better if I get another muffin tin as well.

So, was gonna freeze some, do they freeze ok? Should I remove paper muffin case b4 freezing?

thanks again

Hi Nettles, There are loads within this thread ? Here is one of Thriftladys recipes I have made myself and they are gorgeous. I added a king size mars in for good measure . I have copied and pasted it from my word doc, so Don't know how to add quote bars in!

START
good banana muffin recipe which can be made in a cake or loaf tin if you give it a bit longer in the oven. Thriftlady

Btw, you can freeze bananas for baking .Just put them unpeeled in a bag in the freezer.I always do this with over-ripe ones-perfect for baking.

Banana Muffins/Cake/loaf

Put in a large mixing bowl
10 oz plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarb
1/2 tsp salt

In another bowl mash 3 bananas(the riper,the better)
Add
4 oz sugar
1 egg,beaten with a fork(I never use the egg as dd allergic-you can replace it with 3-4 tbsp of milk)
2-3 fl oz milk
3 fl oz vegetable oil or melted butter

Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and combine thoroughly,BUT be careful not to over-beat,on no account use an electric beater,the mixture should look quite lumpy.

Line a muffin tin with muffin cases,or grease the cups well and fill about 3/4 of the way up.Bake at 190-200c for about 25 mins.
If you want to make a cake pour mixture into a greased 1lb loaf tin or a 7 inch round cake tin and bake for about 35 mins.check for doneness with a skewer-if it comes out of the centre of the cake clean it's cooked.
I usually double up the mixture,so I'm not entirely sure about the tin sizes ,I'm afraid.

You can obviously add chopped nuts,raisins,dried apricots or choc chips.Some mixed spice is nice too. END

About 1/4 of the weight of flour with cocoa, and I'd add 100g choc chips for 12 muffins
