craftyhunnypie Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 What's a decent recipe apart from the Whacky cake ones? Oh & do you bake them in the tulip wrappers Lesley? Thanks..Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I made banana & choc chip muffins today . (First time for years .) Turned out really well . I just googled for a recipe - I liked this one as it doesn't use oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 What's a decent recipe apart from the Whacky cake ones? Oh & do you bake them in the tulip wrappers Lesley?

craftyhunnypie Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks - I'm still at a loss as to what recipe to use. Did the banana muffins turn out fab - no fail? Did you add choc drops to the mix? I'm only asking as they are going to be a show entry for Saturday! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 They were pretty good, in my humble opinion . I'm not much of a muffin connossieur though . The only mistake I made was making double the amount (cos I had 4 really ripe bananas), and cooking them in 2 batches. The first batch turned out a lot nicer (they also had muffin cases which I'd run out of for the second batch!) I just stirred the choc drops in at the final mixing.

Snowy Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I use this one, I think Poet posted it a while ago, and it has always worked well for me: 2 tsps baking powder 175g - 185g castor sugar (depends how sweet you like them!) 1 egg 250ml milk 250g plain flour 90ml vegetable oil Beat the egg and combine with the milk and oil (for a richer taste use half milk, half plain yoghurt) In a bowl sift the flour and baking powder, add the sugar. Add the liquid mixture and combine without over mixing. Makes about a dozen muffins - bake for 20 - 25 minutes in a hot oven. You can add any flavourings you want - I've added two ripe mashed bananas and chocolate chips to this one with a bit of mixed spice, also: pureed apples and cinnamon (delicious ), fresh or frozen raspberries and white choc chips, blueberries and vanilla essence.

craftyhunnypie Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks - but decided on doing the Whacky cake muffins - minus any cream topping, but with choc chips sprinkled on the top part way through cooking. Pleased to say I won 1st prize at the Betley show for my Whacky cake muffins! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Well done! Posting this made me realise I hadn't made any for a while so I set too and rustled up some blueberry and vanilla and some coffee and chocolate chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
