Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today!

two recipes for banana muffins. A fiber-rich, with the goodness of whole oats version, and a sweet, taste-treat sensation version. :D


WHOLE - WHEAT BANANA MUFFINS

1 c. oats
3 tbsp. sugar
1 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. mashed bananas
1 egg
1/4 c. milk
2 tbsp. oil
Mix well and bake at 350 F degrees. Makes 12 muffins.
from here
I stirred together all the dry ingredients and then stirred in the mashed bananas, whisked together the wet ingredients with a fork and then stirred them in, though I have been assured you don't need to do that and it will still work. Oh, and they took about 25 minutes to cook, but you might need to check them earlier depending on your oven.
These were better cold this morning than they were hot last night. (for a less healthy version, they are pretty good with cream cheese frosting)

BANANA AND CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
this was a recipe from England, so it's in oz, not cups.

8 oz. self-raising flour (or of normal flour with 2 tsp baking powder)
2 oz. brown sugar
3 oz. chocolate chunks
2 chopped bananas (this does work better with them not mashed)
either 6 oz butter, melted, or 4 fl oz. oil
2 eggs
3 Tbs milk
mix ingredients together and spoon into greased muffin tins. Sprinkle a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon over the top and bake 20-25 minutes in a 200 C oven. best served warm, but pretty damn delicious cold.

Oooh, mmmm.

But you know, I read the recipe title as "Wet Banana Muffins."

Don't say it, sweetie. I already know I'm twisted. And possible still under the influence. *smooch*

I love bananas in stuff, but I can't stand them fresh, I like my fruit to be juicy. I've been making banana pancakes a lot lately. I'm so making this second recipe tomorrow. YUM.

The only baked goods icon I have is of pie. XD

Oooh. I happen to have bought too many bananas and they're all getting brown and I'm printing these and MAKING THEM TOO. I will let you know how I get on (I'm not much of a baker, that is fo' sho'.

Which were honestly better? The savoury or the sweet ones?

I loathe oats, but I will definitely be trying the second recipe, as it sounds very yummy indeed.

I added a few things to the whole-wheat banana recipe and then turned it into banana bread because I had like, 5 bananas that grew over-ripe. I'd never tried banana bread with oats before and it was good!
