Tasty treat of the week: banana bran muffins

I had a squishy banana in the fruit bowl so I thought I would put it to good use. I adapted this recipe from “Periplus Mini cookbooks: Muffins, scones and teacakes”.

Ingredients

240ml boiling water
120g All Bran
1 mashed ripe banana
1 beaten egg
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
60g firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
120g plain flour
40g skimmed milk powder
2 teaspoons baking powder


First, pour boiling water on the All Bran, stir and leave to stand for 1 hour. After an hour, pre-heat oven to 200 degrees C and grease 12 muffin pans. Next, add banana, egg, oil, sugar and vanilla to the All Bran. After that, sift flour, milk powder and baking powder into the bran mixture and stir gently until everything is mixed in. Finally, spoon batter into the muffin tins (2/3 full) and bake for 17 minutes. These are a great treat at breakfast!
