Simplest ever Banana Muffins

Banana muffins are my favourite. May be it is because they are extremely simple to make, and there are a variety of recipes out there to make them, suiting the ingredients you have at hand. Or may be because no matter what  you do, you cannot screw up banana muffins.

This one is an eggless recipe, yielding just 6 big muffins, just enough to serve as a snack for those mid-meal hunger attacks, or as breakfast for just a day, inspired by the Muffin Magic book I bought this weekend from the Crossword sale.
This truly is the simplest ever banana muffins I tried, and the fluffiest ever. Addition of the berries is totally optional, but they gave a nice tarty taste to the muffins, and blended well with the chocolate chips. The minute I pulled them out of the oven, I could actually see the chips melting, and the berries soft enough… it was really yummy.

Ingredients
Multi grain flour – 1 cup
Baking powder – 1/2 Tbsp
Brown sugar – 1/2 cup
Bananas – 2, medium sized, mashed
Thick Cream – 2 Tbsp
Chocolate chips , both white and black – 1/2 cup
Dried blueberries – 1/4 cup
Instructions
Mix the mashed bananas , sugar and cream well. Add the chocolate chips and dried berries to this wet mixture.
Sieve the flour with the baking powder.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and mix just enough. It is okay if there are lumps of flour in this.
Put scoop-fuls of this batter into the muffin cups, or paper cups lined in a muffin tray.
Bake for 30 mins in a pre-heated oven at 185C or till the skewer comes out clean.

  2. Yes, I guess you can. But the number of minutes you put these in the MW will differ. Please read up a bit more on the internet before you try with MW.
