Perfect Banana and Cinnamon Muffins

ByLisa Jayne 



For years I’ve loved baking, but I’m not always very good at it. Sometimes I can make amazing bakes, other times I can make more ‘meh’ kind of cakes. My skills really aren’t that great, and although I won’t be making star baker on GBBO anytime soon, my baking skills are slowly starting to improve. Recently I’ve started to perfect a few recipes, and one of my favourites is my banana and cinnamon muffins.




These muffins are quite basic, but when done well, they are super delicious. Because I’m pretty proud of how well my muffins have turned out, I wanted to share my recipe, and well show off a little at how good these muffins look. 




All you need is:


    

  • 200g plain flour (I used a gluten free one for these muffins)
    • 

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 

  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
    • 

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 

  • 3 large bananas, mashed
    • 

  • 150g caster sugar
    • 

  • 1 egg
    • 

  • 75g butter, melted
    • 

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 









This is probably one of the quickest and easiest recipes I’ve baked for sometime, and it only really took me 10 minutes to prepare. All I had to do was:




    

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Place 12 paper baking cases in a muffin tin
    • 

  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt and set aside
    • 

  • Combine mashed bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter in a large bowl. Fold in flour mixture, and mix until smooth
    • 

  • Spoon evenly into baking cases in muffin tin
    • 

  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until muffins spring back when lightly tapped
    • 







… And ta dahhhh! The perfect banana and cinnamon muffins!

    Valentine’s Day Gift Guide #1

    Now it’s February everyone’s focus has switched from getting fit and being healthy, to all things Valentine’s Day. I find that Valentine’s Day gifts can often get a little samey, with the usual chocolates and flowers still proving to be popular. Although this year I’ve spotted a couple of different gifts, and thought I’d share them with you in case…

    Beanies Instant Coffee

    I’m usually much more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker, unless its a flavoured coffee. I’m a big fan of Costa and Starbucks’s flavoured lattes, especially when they’ve got their Christmas ranges out this time of year. Only problem with them is when you think about the amount of milk, and flavoured syrup…

    A few weeks ago now I met up with a few of my Cambridge friends Laura and Pippa, as well as meeting Sophie for the first time. The original plan was for a few of us Camb Meetup girls to meet up and go for lunch, but a few people dropped out so it ended up just being us four. Despite there only…

    Cocio One Chocolate Milk

    I love chocolate milk, I’m terrible for it. Whenever I’m out and see the option of chocolate milkshakes, or even in my local corner shop, I just can’t resist it. Luckily I can behave a bit more at home, as we never have any milk in as my mum’s lactose intolerant, so a rare chocolate…

    A few weeks ago I talked about how I was trying to eat a little healthier, and I’ve been trying to change a few of my bad eating habits. As I wrote in my healthy eating post I’ve been trying to find healthy alternatives, and I’ve been focusing on trying to add things into my diet,…
