  • 110 g Unsalted Butter Softened
  • 2 Large Eggs
Dry Ingredients
  • 210 g Self Raising Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 180C Fan (160C if not using a fan oven)
  2. Add flour, baking powder and bicrabonate or soda into a medium-large mixing bowl and hand whisk to combine.
  3. Add banana, sugar, eggs, softened butter and vanilla to the blender container. Whizz together for 30 seconds - 1 minute until you have a smoothie like mixture with no lumps.
  4. Pour the blended mixture into the flour mixture and whisk with the hand whisk or a spatula until just combined.

  5. Add in frozen blueberries. I like to save a couple of blueberries to push into the top of the muffins once they are in the tray so you could do that - its a trick to make prettier muffins! The mixture will cool down when you do this so be ready to work quickly to get them in the muffin cases.
  6. Fill cases to 3/4 full and pop in the oven for 6 minutes at the higher temerature.
  7. After 6 minutes of baking reduce the oven temperature by 20 degrees C. and continue to cook for 15-18 more minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the middle muffin in your tray comes back out with no wet mixture on it. A few crumbs is ok.
  8. Leave the muffins to cool in the tray for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to cool fully
