Blueberry and banana muffins

Blueberry and banana muffins are a delightful and nutritious treat that combines the natural sweetness of fruits with the warm flavor of cinnamon. Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack, these muffins are easy to make and can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 egg
50g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1/3 cup olive oil
80g
2 bananas
240g
1 cup blueberries
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Mash the Bananas: In a separate medium bowl, peel and mash the bananas using a fork until smooth.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In the bowl with the mashed bananas, add the egg, milk, and olive oil. Whisk together until evenly combined.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter. Be careful not to break them up too much.
7. Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds to three-quarters full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve: Enjoy your delicious blueberry and banana muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerated for up to a week.

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Look for bananas with brown spots for the best results.

- Fold in blueberries gently: To avoid mashing the blueberries, gently fold them into the batter with a spatula. This will help distribute them evenly throughout the muffins.

- Don't overmix the batter: Mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in dense muffins.

- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the muffins are done. If there's batter on the toothpick, bake for a few more minutes and check again.

- Cool before serving: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and makes them easier to remove from the pan.

In just a few simple steps, you can create delicious blueberry and banana muffins that are perfect for any time of the day. These muffins are moist, flavorful, and packed with the goodness of fruits. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee, or as a quick snack on the go.
