Bananas and Dates Muffins

Makes 12

Ingredients:
3 – 4 overripe bananas, chopped / mashed
⅔ cups soft dates, chopped
½ cup cooking oil
2 medium eggs
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1½ cups self raising flour

¼ cup walnuts (optional)

Chocolate chips (optional)

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 170°C. 

Line a muffin tray with muffin liners. 

Soak the dates in hot water to cover for 5 minutes.  Mash or chop the bananas. Drain the water off the dates. 

Using a small bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together. 

In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.

Finely mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Mix the walnuts into the batter. 

Fill the muffin cases three quarter full with the muffin mixture. 

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the muffin comes out dry and clean.

Cook’s Tip:

Add chocolate chips instead of dates and/or nuts. Make a double batch, freeze or store the batter in the fridge to bake for breakfast or brunch the following day. Can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
