Instructions
Instructions for the One-Bowl Banana Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175C/155C Fan) and prepare a muffin tray with grease and flour or muffin cases.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars with an electric hand mixer.
- Add the eggs and beat to combine.
- Add the bananas. Beat on low to mash and incorporate these.
- Finally, add the flour, baking soda and salt. Beat until just combined.
- Scoop the mix into a prepared 12-hole muffin tin and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Take out of the oven and remove onto a wire rack to cool.
Instructions for Banana Ganache
- In a saucepan, heat the cream and vanilla bean paste until almost simmering.
- Add the mashed banana and rum to the cream and bring to a boil.
- Once the cream mixture has boiled, pour this over the chopped white chocolate (in a heat proof bowl). Allow this to set for about 5 minutes and then stir until the chocolate has thoroughly melted.
- To create smooth banana ganache, strain this through a sieve to remove any excess bits of banana.
- Fill the muffins with the ganache (notes on filling these are available in the blog post).
Instructions for the Coconut Topping
- In a small bowl, mix together butter, sugar, milk and rum. Add the coconut and stir to combine.
- Top each muffin with the coconut mixture. You may have extra leftover depending on how much you want to use on each muffin.
- Place the coconut topped muffins on a baking tray under the broiler (or grill) in your oven for about 5 minutes, watching carefully. Broil until lightly golden and remove to cool.
