Really easy and HEALTHY bananna muffins

[Stanfield]

My son cant get enough of these, which is great because he thinks its a real treat, but you can see by the recipie that they are actually rather healthy - especially if you use flora instead of butter as I do _sure butter would be a bit more tasty but I would then have to polish the remaining packet off on toast, so steer clear of buying it!


25 g Butter
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons milk
2 large ripe bannanas (I will be adding 3 next time)
150g self raising flour
1/2teaspoon bi carb


Heat butter honey and milk together.

Mash the bannanas into big lumps

Sift flour and bi carb together

Mix butter mix and banannas together then mix with the flour (dont over mix or they go hard)

Spoon into about 6 muffin cases.

bake for 20-25 mins on 180 (Ibake for 20mins at the most, so the top doesn't go too crunchy for the little ones)

Cool on the tray for 5 mins, then onto a cooling rack

You can then add icing but I kept them healthy without it! If adding icing, it sugguests adding a teaspoon of caramel sauce to taste.


ENJOY! x

Mmmmm I would love to try these, sadly unless I hide them bananas in my house don't stay around long enough to become ripe, the rotten lot eat them when they're still green ( yuck !)

I go to tesco when I know I am going to bake them and buy the really ripe ones that are going brown that noone wants!
It's true, they are all eaten that very same day! so I find it best to bake in the morning and have them as an afternoon snack.

needed somthing for after school snack tonight so we have just made them and they are now in the oven, we didnt have big muffin cases so put them in normal bun cases , although i may have over filled cause they are rising rather well!!!

Thanks for sharing - going to buy cheap ripe bananas this afternoon for my after schoolers

[Zoomie]

We love banana muffins in this house :D .

:idea: A tip for those of you who occassionally have an over ripe banana left over. They freeze perfectly (in their skins), and when it come to using then, just microwave for about 30 seconds, and then the banana literally slips out of the skin, when you cut the end off. I have about 10 banana's in my freezer at the mo, so really should get a few batches on soon.

I am off baking now...I am sure they will be lovely!!
thanks for the post

[nannysue]

[Rubybubbles]

they went down a treat! we also made some with some chocolate melted into the honey/butter and milk mix (left over from easter birds nests lol) which went really fluffy and looked lovely and light, needless to say these went down well too;)

Shame I am on a diet:mad: haha

[Demonjill]

[Moominmomma]

I make these and add different things such as cinamon, rasins etc..

Great to make with kids- no yucky eggs! Eggs are rarely seen in my house as my daughter is allergic, she has been rushed to A&E in the past!

[Stanfield]

I made some lately with my new mindee and mum asked for the recipe (boost for my cooking skills as my 2 don't seem to like my cooking at the mo!):clapping:

Thought I would bump this up again for those who havn't seen it as theyr really are easy and yummy!:clapping:

[patevans]

[Carol M]

[clio0602]

[Chell]

Shame I am on a diet:mad: haha
I can't stand bananas so I make banana bread or muffins the I won't be tempted. :idea:

[vicky5432]

I made these at the weekend and they were amazing the only thing was that they didnt last long they were so tasty. I am making another couple batches and going to freeze some. I warmed them up and served with custard :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Rubybubbles]

bumping as I remember this being the easiest one an dwe have loads of banana again:laughing:

[PinkFairy24]

Ohh brilliant! I was just about to look for something healthy as my 2 and 3 year old love cooking but we have only made cookies and decorated biscuits with icing and smarties etc. I think mum would like me to make something healthier with them and I would as well!

How can I link this to the ECM as a healthy treat as well as linking it to their development? I don't really link to the ECM as I'm not sure how to do it. Would I just mention it in the observations or planning?

Thanks loads for posting this receipe! Am going to try it with them tomorrow! Also thanks for the tip on freezing overripe bananas, not that we have many as we all eat about 5 a day with me and hubby as well!!
