Ingredients

  • 3 banana overripe and mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 90 g fat free greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 40 g honey
  • 50 g light brown sugar split
  • 1 tsp baking soda / bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste / vanilla extract
  • 1.5 tsp ground ginger split
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 180 g plain flour / all purpose flour
  • 20 g grape-nuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180oC / 160oC Fan / 350oF. Line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper cases - set aside.  
  • Place the grape-nuts in a small bowl and stir in 2 teaspoons of the sugar and ½ teaspoon of the cinnamon. Set aside to use later. 
  • Mash the bananas in the bottom of a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, yogurt and oil and using a hand whisk, mix together to get a smooth mixture. 
  • Add the sugar, honey and vanilla paste and whisk until combined. 
  • Add the cinnamon, baking soda, salt and flour and fold into the wet mixture using a metal spoon. You want the mixture to be incorporated so that there are no 'pockets' of flour left but don't over mix the batter. 
  • Spoon the mixture into the cases and use ¼ teaspoon of the grape-nut mixture to sprinkle on top. 
  • Bake for 20 - 22 minutes until the muffins have risen and turned golden brown. Insert a cake tester or a toothpick into the centre of the muffins - if they are cooked it will come out clean. 
  • Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
