Time 50m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

225g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/ fan 180C and very lightly butter a 12-hole muffin tin. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then stir in the melted butter, milk and honey. Add to the flour with the remaining ingredients. Combine quickly without overworking (it's fine if there are some lumps left - you want it gloopy rather than fluid). Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add sweetness and moisture to the muffins, reducing the need for added sugar.
Mash bananas thoroughly: Ensure bananas are mashed until smooth to avoid banana chunks in the muffins.
Use a variety of fruits: Mixing different fruits, such as berries, apples, or peaches, adds flavor and texture.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use muffin liners: Liners make it easy to remove the muffins from the pan and prevent sticking.
Fill muffin cups to the top: Filling cups to the top ensures the muffins rise properly and have a domed shape.
Bake at the right temperature: Bake muffins at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let muffins cool before serving: Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving to prevent crumbling.
