Banana and honey muffins

In this recipe, the use of oil instead of butter is a conscious choice: since oil is liquid at room temperature (unsaturated fatty acids), the muffins stay fluffy and moist even when cold, unlike cakes made with butter which can harden.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line the tin.

Tip: Standard procedure.

Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt).

Tip: Lump-free baking powder is the goal.
3

Whisk the eggs with the sugar, vanilla sugar and honey.

Tip: Due to the viscosity of the honey, it is important to mix well.
4

Mix the oil and banana pulp into the egg mixture.

Tip: Oil emulsifies harder than butter, mix thoroughly.
5

Fold the contents of the two bowls together (dry + wet). Do not overmix!

Tip: The golden rule of muffins: lumpy batter is good batter.

Recipe FAQ

Why did it stick to the paper?
You tried to remove the paper whilst too hot, or there was too little fat in the batter. Leave to cool completely.
