Healthy Banana and Walnut Muffins






I love this recipe, I can literally have my cake and eat it. Contains no butter or sugar and made with whole wheat flour. But don't be fooled, it still tastes sweet and indulgent.

Makes around 16 muffins (or one loaf if you prefer) 

240g wholemeal flour
1tsp bicarbonate of soda
1tsp baking powder
3 ripe bananas (around 300g) 
4 tbsp honey (maple or agave syrup works too) 
3 large eggs beaten
150ml natural yogurt (either low fat or fat free) 
25g chopped walnuts

Heat the oven to 160c paper cases optional, you can just grease your tin if preferred. 

In a bowl mix the honey, banana and yoghurt. A little at a time add in dry ingredients and a little of the egg, fold in as you go. Once combined add a little more and continue until all ingredients are folded in. Finally fold in the walnuts. 

Spoon your mixture into your muffin tin - an icecream, scoop makes this easier. Sprinkle with oats.

Bake in he oven for around 45 minutes, but keep and eye on how they are doing.  Test with a knife if it come out clean, they done. 

Leave to cool on a wire rack, or not. If like me you're impatient then just dive in.

While stuffing your face listen to this track, I'm obsessed with it. Why not solo dance while stuffing your face with cake, maybe down a bottle of wine too!

Seriously though, Joe Goddard is always good on the remix and I predict big things for Indiana this years.  She playing in her home town of Nottingham tomorrow night. Well worth checking out.
