Banana-Honey-Dates Muffins
Here I am,back after a fairly long hiatus, hoping to be more regular! Have a lot of photos and recipes,pending to be posted here.
This time, I am making a comeback with these delicious and moist Banana-honey-dates muffins - a great way to put those overly ripe bananas to good use. This is a very simple and fool proof recipe,and yields 12 jumbo sized muffins. Without further ado, let me go on to the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Unbleached All-purpose flour
1 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Baking powder
3-4 large ripe bananas - the more the bananas,the moister,so I used 4 bananas
1/2 cup Sugar
3 tbsp Honey
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 cup finely chopped Dates
1/3 cup Melted butter
1 egg - slightly beaten
1/4 tsp - Cinnamon powder (Optional)
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. If using cupcake/muffin liners, line the pan with them.If not, grease the pan with butter or oil.
2. Whisk together the dry ingredients - Flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon powder (if using) in a bowl and keep this aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas well, and then add sugar, honey, melted butter, slightly beaten egg and mix well. You can use a hand blender or a whisk to do this.I mashed the bananas well with my hand,and then used the hand blender.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl,and mix well,until they are all combined.
5. Fold the chopped dates into the batter.
6. With a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill the muffin pans with the batter upto 3/4th full.
7. Bake at 350F for approximately 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Remove the muffins from the pan and let cool. These muffins are more flavorful the next day!
Enjoy :)
