Equipment
- 3 Normal Bowls
- 1 Mixer
- 1 Spoon
Ingredients
- 5g (2tsp) Cinnamon Powder
- 170g (6oz) Soft Brown Granulated Sugar
- 100g (3½oz) Unsalted Butter
- 250g (9oz) Exceedingly Ripe Banana
- 100g (2) Eggs
- 4g (1tsp) Vanilla Extract
- 80g (3oz) Milk
- 250g (9oz) All Purpose Flour
- 8g (1½tsp) Baking Powder
- 2g (⅓tsp) Salt
- 150g (5oz) Blueberries
Instructions
- In way of preparation, put 20g of the Brown Sugar, and 5g of Cinnamon Powder in a small bowl and mix thoroughly
- In a second bowl, peel 250g of exceedingly ripe bananas and squash them until they reach the consistency of baby food (a potato masher will do the trick)
- Next, sift 250g of All Purpose Flour into a third bowl, then add 8g of Baking Powder, 2g of Salt and stir until entirely combined
- Once that is out of the way, pre heat the oven to 220℃ (430°F, Fan 200°C, Gas Mark 7), and line a muffin tray with paper cake cups
- Now, place 100g of Butter and the remaining 150g of Light Brown Sugar into a large mixing bowl, and beat together into a paste. Under no circumstances should you heat the Butter to make life ‘easier’
- Add the 250g Squashed Banana, along with 100g of Eggs, 4g of Vanilla Extract, 80g of Milk and mix quickly until it becomes an ungainly, pulpy mess
- Drop in the previously prepared bowl of Flour, Baking Powder and Salt, then stir with a rubber spatula until the whole thing resembles a thick porridge. This should take less than a minute, so be careful not to overdo it
- Add 150g of Fresh Blueberries, and stir together until evenly distributed
- Take the freshly made muffin mix, and fill each of the paper cups to the very top, piling it up as much as possible. Then, Sprinkle approximately 5 grams of the sugar and cinnamon prepared in step one over each muffin
- Bake for 7 minutes at 220℃ (430°F, Fan 200°C. Then, without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 180°C (350°F, Fan 160°C, Gas Mark 4) and bake for a further 20 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean
- Once baked, immediately remove the muffins from the baking tray, and leave on a wire rack until cool
- Test your creation alongside a cup of tea, and give yourself a pat on the back for not wasting bananas
