At the moment I've been loving baking healthier alternatives, so in today's post, I wanted to share one of my favourites I have tried. This recipe is for 'Healthy Cinnamon Banana and Blueberry Muffins', these are great for breakfast, snacks as well as a dessert. And they are super simple to make.
Ingredients
250g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus ½ tsp extra for the topping
pinch of salt
2 ripe bananas, mashed
150g/5oz blueberries
3 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large free-range egg
185ml milk
50g caster sugar
Method
250g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus ½ tsp extra for the topping
pinch of salt
2 ripe bananas, mashed
150g/5oz blueberries
3 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large free-range egg
185ml milk
50g caster sugar
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line eight holes of a muffin tin with paper muffin cases.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the banana and blueberries and, using a fork, lightly toss the fruit through the flour.
- In a separate bowl, lightly whisk together the honey, vegetable oil, egg and milk.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (don't over-mix or your muffins won't be as light in texture).
- Spoon the batter into the individual muffin cases.
- Mix the extra half a teaspoon of cinnamon and the caster sugar together and sprinkle on top of the batter.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until risen and lightly golden. Serve warm from the oven.
