The Dogmother Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 These really are yummy and were eaten in no time at all! So quick and easy to make too. Banana and coconut breakfast muffins Makes 12 muffin size or 24 if you use small cupcases 100g melted butter or Stork 250g self raising flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp cinnamon 100g honey 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 or so large ripe bananas, chopped 2 large free range eggs 150g plain yoghurt 4 heaped tbsp desiccated coconut salt Preheat the oven to 190degC/gas 5, bung the ingredients into a food processor with a pinch of salt and pulse for the minimum necessary to get it to a paste-like consistency. Don't over-mix it or the muffins won't be light. If you're using paper cases, put those in your muffin tin. If not, grease the tin and spoon in the mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lovely and golden. Leave them to cool before scoffing *In hindsight I will make them in smaller cupcases next time as they are very filling.

Alis girls Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yes Mum I have one of those teenager thingies too - muscular and like a honed rake - and eats like a horse. If I ate what he eats I'd be the size of a semi. These sound yum - I wonder if they would taste the coconut - i love coconut - might give them a try. Thanks DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ali's girl, re the coconut - are you suggesting that you like coconut but your family may not? If that is the case, use the coconut element of the recipe and soak it in 50ml of hot water for about an hour to "extract" the flavour and reduce the yogurt element by 50ml. Strain off the coconut "milk" and continue with the recipe. Soaking dessicated coconut in water is the paupers way of making "coconut milk" for recipes For those who are not fond of dessicated coconut (gets stuck in the teeth ) its a way of having the flavour and not the texture. Also a great standby when making a curry which calls for coconut milk when you don't have that but do have dessicated coconut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I haven't heard that tip for ages Mum, my Nonna - another thrift like me - always used to do that and made a mean coconut sponge. They really are delicious and don't last long if I bake them at the weekend when Phil is around - he's tall and slim and never seems to put on weight Rosie is on at me to make a raspberry and white chocolate version for her sleepover on Saturday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thanks for that Mum - i might try them first and just not mention the coconut - they might not notice it - lets face it I am sure I am not the only mum with a child who can fit a whole muffin in his gob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
