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!

    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…

    If you’ve been following me on my social accounts lately you might have seen that I’m on bit of a weightloss mission. My weight has been something that’s been an issue for me for a long time now.

    Teapigs Iced Tea

    Now that our days are (finally) brightening up and becoming warmer there’s nothing I crave more than sitting in outside in the sunshine with something cold to drink. One thing that appealed to me was iced tea. I’ve always been a big fan of iced tea, but I’ve never got around to making it myself….

    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…
