Yield Makes Muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

220g all purpose/plain flour (I used wholemeal but white is fine)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp mixed spice (or allspice or ground cloves or nutmeg or more cinnamon)
pinch of salt
1 egg
75ml sunflower oil (or whatever oil you have)
100g brown sugar (I used soft dark but light would work)
2 mashed ripe bananas (or you could use tinned pumpkin - 185/200g ish)
120 ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
75g butter
100g granulated sugar
2/3 tbsp cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat oven to 170C/fan 150c/gas 5, Grease a 12 hole muffin tin - I lined the bases with a little circle of greaseproof paper too just incase!
Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, spices, salt) in a large bowl.
Mix the wet ingredients (sugar, egg, oil, milk, vanilla, banana) together until smooth and fully combined.
Add the wet to the dry ingredients and stir together - don't over mix, just combine with a spoon). Divide the mixture in to the muffin tin.
Bake for 20/25 minutes or until golden and until a knife comes out clean.
Whilst the puffs are baking melt the butter in a pan/or microwave and mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a seperate bowl. Once the puffs are baked, remove from the tin and whilst they are still hot brush them with the melted butter and dip them in the cinnamon sugar.
