Muffins for all!

A miserable gray day has created the need for muffins! I've made these rather healthy looking blueberry and banana muffins :D





Ingrediants


300g self-raising flour


1 tsp bicarb of soda


100g light muscovado sugar


50g porridge oats, plus 2 tbsps for later.


2 medium bananas


284ml buttermilk


5 tbsp vegetable oil


2 egg whites


150g blueberries

• Heat oven to 180C and line 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Tip the flour and bicarb of soda into a large bowl. Hold back 1 tbsp of the sugar, then mix the remainder with the flour and 50g oats. Make a well in the centre. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until nearly smooth. Stir the buttermilk, oil and egg whires into the mashed banana until evenly combined.


• Pour the liquid mixture into the well and stir quickly and sparingly with a wooden spoon. The mix will look lumpy and may have the odd fleck of flour still visable, but don't over-mix. Tip in the blueberries and give it one more stir. Divide the mix between the muffin cases (they will be quite full, this is ok) then sprinkly the tops with the oats and the rest of the sugar. Bake for 18-20 minutes until risen and dark golden. Cool for 5 minutes in the tray before lifting out to cool completely.

Also, don't lick the buttermilk. Just don't.
