Banana Brownie Muffins

After a boxed brownie mix languished in my cupboard for some time, I decided to turn it into something I knew my tennis-playing son would eat. This recipe arose from comparing a brownie recipe with a muffin recipe, and adding the differences to the mix. To finish, I simply sprinkled powdered sugar over the tops, but I’m sure other toppings would be great as well.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with liners.

Step: 2

Whisk buttermilk, bananas, and eggs together in a bowl; gradually stir in coconut oil.

Step: 3

Combine brownie mix, oats, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in buttermilk mixture. Stir together until batter is just moistened.

Step: 4

Divide batter among muffin liners, filling each 2/3 full.

Step: 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pan, 10 to 15 minutes. Move to a rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.

Great taste or Canadian flours, which are naturally higher in gluten, may give you a better rise than standard bread flours – especially if you’re making wholemeal dough , which doesn’t always getting bigger as well as clear bread.

To make this in a dough , add all the menus to your breadmaker and follow the makers instructions.

A bread first rising can be make in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great timesaver , as you can start it night before , then finish it off the next day.
