Whole wheat banana muffins

Muffin is a quick and easy sweet bread product that can be made in a flash :-) it's my daughter's favorite snack. I usually make blueberry muffins but today I tried a different one with healthier options. It's wholewheat banana muffin made with brown sugar and honey. Here is the quick recipe for making this simple and delicious snack.

Ingredients:

Whole wheat flour: 1 cup

Baking soda : 1/4 tsp

Baking powder : 3/4 tsp

Salt: 1/4 tsp

Cinnamon powder: 1/4 tsp

Bananas: 1 large or 3 small ripe bananas + 1 small banana for garnishing 

Brown sugar: 1/4 cup

Egg:1

Milk: 40 ml

Honey: 60 ml

Vegetable oil: 30 ml

Vanilla essence :1/2 tsp

Broken almonds: 2 tbsp

Method:

1. Take a big bowl and mix whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon powder.

2. Take another bowl and mash the bananas with a fork and add lightly beaten egg, vanilla essence,sugar, honey, milk, and oil and mix well.

3. Add in broken almonds and mix.

4. Mix the wet ingredients with dry flour mixture and combine slowly. Do not over mix the batter.

5. Line the muffin tin with muffin cups ( paper or silicon) or grease them with oil or butter.

6. Put equal quantity of batter in each cup and put a spoonful of water in the empty cups. Water helps in baking the muffins evenly.

7. Put a slice of banana on each muffin

8. Bake for 18-20 mins in a preheated oven at 190 celicius.

9. Insert a toothpick in the center, if the toothpick comes out clean, muffins will be ready.

10. Cool them down for 5 mins and store in airtight jar.

Notes:

1.You can replace wheat flour with all purpose flour.

2.You can use white sugar instead of brown.

3.Nuts of your choice can be used like cashews, almond or walnut.

4. Dried banana chips can also be used for garnishing.
