Time 50m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

100g unsalted butter , melted, plus extra for the tin
4 ripe bananas
50g full-fat natural yogurt , plus 2 tbsp
100g spelt flour
120g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cardamom
2 eggs
160g golden caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
40g walnuts , broken
200ml double cream
40g unsalted butter , diced
150ml double cream
130g light muscovado sugar
generous pinch sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Prepare a muffin tin by thoroughly buttering and lining with cases. In a bowl, mash three bananas, then stir in 50g yogurt. In another bowl, sift in the flours, baking powder, cardamom and a pinch of salt, and stir to combine.
  • Add the eggs and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer, then whisk until pale and frothy - about 3 mins. Slowly pour in the melted butter in a steady stream, then add the vanilla. Turn the speed down, then add the flour mixture, 2 tbsp at a time, alternating with the yogurt and banana mix, until everything is incorporated. Mix in the walnuts for no longer than 20 seconds. Divide the mixture between the muffin cases. Bake for 25-30 mins or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, make the salted caramel by heating the butter, cream and sugar in a non-stick pan until simmering. Remove from the heat, then add the salt - you want enough to pique the sauce, but it shouldn't taste salty.
  • Once the muffins are cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. Whip the cream to soft peaks, fold through 2 tbsp yogurt and slice the final banana. Spoon or pipe the cream onto the muffins. Top with the sliced banana and drizzle with salted caramel.
