Recipe: Easy Banana Muffins

The recipe I would like to share today is one my mom has been baking for us since I was a child. It was originally a banana bread using white flour and sugar, but over time as I am trying to use more whole, unrefined ingredients i have adapted it.

 

These banana muffins are quick to make and they freeze well, we have a constant supply in the freezer, ready for a school snack or breakfast addition. This recipe is so versatile, virtually flop proof, using only a few basic ingredients. We have tried many additions and pretty much everything works, grated apple, carrot, baby marrow, dates, peanut butter, desiccated coconut, seeds, nuts. The ones I currently have in the oven are my favourite, flavoured with date paste and coconut. I like to use oat flour that I buy from a health shop but Jungle oats blended to a flour works great too.
