I am pretty sure that every once in a while, you have overripe bananas on your kitchen counter. Hats off to you if you don't, but clearly that's not the case with me. Whenever that happens to me, I think of a few options that I can use the bananas for - banana bread, banana smoothie, sometimes I also cut and freeze the bananas for making a smoothie later.
Last weekend when this happened, I thought of preparing banana muffins. This was to make sure we can use these masterpieces for snacking during the school holidays. My daughter is not a fan of raisins as such but does not mind having them. To make it healthy, I have added steel cut oats to the recipe. You can replace it with all-purpose flour instead if you wish to.
Ingredients:
- Overripe Bananas - 2
- Sugar - 1/2 cup
- Cinnamon powder - 1 tsp
- Self Raising whole wheat flour - 1/2 cup
- Steel cut oats - 1 and 1/2 cups
- Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
- Milk - 1/2 cup
- Olive oil - 1/4 cup
- Eggs - 2
- Baking powder - 1 tsp
- Raisins - 1/2 cup
Method:
- Mash the bananas with a fork in a bowl.
- In another bowl, beat all the wet ingredients (oil, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla essence) together.
- To this mixture, the add mashed bananas and mix well.
- Add the flour, baking powder, raisins and oats and mix well.
- Line a muffin tray with muffin cases and preheat oven to 170 degrees celcius.
- Once the oven is preheated, bake muffins for 20 mins.
- Let it cool before serving.
