Ingredients
- 3 large bananas (ripe) approximately 420g of peeled banana
- 155 g light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 270 g self-raising flour sifted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200c.
- Line a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin liners and set aside.
- Place peeled bananas in a large bowl and mash until smooth (see my notes).
- Add light brown sugar to mashed bananas and mix to dissolve the sugar a little.
- Add eggs and mix slightly to incorporate.
- Fold in self-raising flour, mixing sparingly until just combined with no streaks of flour.
- Divide batter evenly amongst holes of the prepared muffin pan.
- Place in the oven to bake, at the same time turning down the oven to 180c.
- Bake for 17 - 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick or skewer inserted into the centre of the muffins comes out clean.
- Remove muffins from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool.

Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- I start mashing the bananas with a potato masher first, then move to a fork. You want to make the banana as smooth as possible. The other option is using a small food processor or blender - faster, lovely and smooth but more washing up.
- When you fold in the flour, it's important not to overmix - this will make the muffins tough.
- Make your own self-raising flour - for every 1 cup of plain flour (150g) add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and sift well to combine.
