Of couse you can have the recipe.
says on recipe you can get 10 out of mix but i got 12;)

9oz (250g) plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 large ripe bananas
1 egg
2 1/2 oz (70g) brown sugar (can use caster instead)
2fl oz (50ml) vegetable oil
1oz raisins (i used mixed dried fruit)

I also added some milk to make the mixture abit slacker, it was quite thick.

sieve the flour, baking powder, bicarb,salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and put to one side.

Place the bananas in a bowl and mash, i used my hand mixer but you can use a fork.
Add the egg, sugar and oil and mix well.
Add the dry ingredients and mix well again. Finally mix in the fruit.
Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.

Bake at 190oc/gas 5 for 20/25 minutes.

I have tried replacing the fruit with chocolate chips and also tried it with some walnuts, both times they turned out really well.:D

Hi everyone - just thought I'd catch up before heading off on the Pilgrimage tomorrow, can't believe how fast this thread grows but it's fantastic that we all support one another.

Sosh - congrats to your OH on the new job, that's fantastic news.:j

victory - glad the party went well, you can relax until the next one;)

mama67 - those cookies & shortbread looked fab, don't do things like that at either of my DD's Schools. Thanks also for posting the recipe, shall definitely give those a try next week as it's Half Term.:D

A big welcome to all the Newbies, the more the merrier. Hope everyone has a fantastic Bank Holiday weekend, hugs to those that need them and I will log back on when I return on Monday, hopefully my GC total won't have changed as have left enough food cooked and ready in the freezer, muffins, hobnobs etc so OH shouldn't need to buy anything else. Bless him, not only does he have to feed and water my 2 DD's but he also has to remember to feed and water all my veggies:rotfl: Catch up with you all next week, good luck.

I have just seen a bbq pack on tv from iceland for a £5. i dont have a bbq but i would use it all in oven, could you do this? or is it to be cooked on a bbq?

How do you freeze muffins/cakes? just as they are when they come out of oven but cooled down?

angelnikki

I just put the banana muffins in a freezer bag once they were cooled and froze them like that. They defrosted nicely in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds and tasted just like freshly baked. HTH

I just made some Twinks. I added a couple of handfuls of sultanas to the mix and got a total of 58 hobnobs. Hopefully there will be some left for when my mum comes to visit on Sunday We've already eaten 6!!
