Yield: 10-12 muffins
Ingredients
- 75g coconut oil (liquified)
- 250g self raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 115g raw caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 medium eggs
- 125mL almond milk
- 10 walnut kernels (if desired)
Cooking Directions
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees C
- Place 12 baking cases in muffin tin
- Sift together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg in a large bowl. Add caster sugar and stir through.
- In a second bowl, use a fork to beat together the eggs, vanilla extract, coconut oil and almond milk. Add the well mashed banana and stir through.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the moist ingredients, stiring roughly with a fork (don’t over mix) until it is a lumpy paste.
- Spoon evenly into baking cases in muffin tin until almost full. Top each one with a walnut if desired.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins come away from the side of the pan when touched.
- Rest the muffin tray on a wire rack for 5 minutes then remove the muffins and leave on the rack for another 5 minutes before serving.
