Ingredients

250g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
100g light brown muscovado sugar
2 large or 3 small bananas, mashed
2 eggs
125ml buttermilk
75g melted butter
3 tbsp oats

Method

STEP 1
Line a 12-hole muffin tin and heat the oven to 190c/fan 170c/gas 5. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Mix the bananas, eggs, buttermilk and butter, then add to the dry mix with a pinch of salt. Fold it together lightly and quickly. Don’t worry if the mixture looks lumpy – keep going until it is smooth and your muffins will be tough. Spoon into the muffin cases and sprinkle on oats. Bake for 20 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
