Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter softened
- 100 grams caster sugar
- 35 grams light brown sugar
- 2 large bananas as ripe as they can be
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams plain flour
- 1 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice
- 100 grams chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Line your muffin tin with muffin liners.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
- Peel the bananas and mix them into butter/sugar mixture.
- Add the eggs, milk and vanilla extract. It will be lumpy from the bananas, which is fine.
- Add flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, cinnamon and mixed spice to the batter.
- Mix until flour is combined. Be careful not to overmix - you want things to be *just* combined.
- Coat walnuts in a little flour and stir into batter.
- Using the ice cream scoop, add a level scoop of the mix into the prepared liners and bake for 18-20 min, or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Remove from heat and let the muffins chill on cooling rack.
