OATS & BANANA MUFFINS
Muffins are VERY easy and quick to make, and nothing’s better than warm muffins from the oven on a weekend morning.
OATS AND BANANA MUFFINS
Good for a healthy breakfast
Makes 12 muffins
In one bowl combine:
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 cup of porridge oats
2 mashed bananas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup caster sugar
In another bowl, mix together:
1/2 cup of wholemeal flour
1 cup of cake flour
1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
2 tsp of baking powder
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin cases
OATS & BANANA MUFFINS
Now combine the two mixtures, moving quickly and lightly with your spoon – or a fork actually works well here. You want to use as few stirs as possible and mix until there are no dry patches of flour, but don’t worry if the mixture is pretty lumpy.
Get the mix into the paper cases ASAP filling them three quarters full – as soon as the liquid hits the raising agents they will activate and you want your muffins rising in the oven, not sitting in the kitchen raw.
Bake them for around 20 minutes, then take them out, leave them a couple of minutes and pop them on a wire rack to cool. While they were still warm, I punctured them with a skewer and drizzled them with golden syrup.
BREAD ROLLS
Rolls
Makes about 10, depending on the size.
Ingredients:
500g plain flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 packet instant yeast
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons plain yoghurt
25g sugar
1 egg
½ – ¾ cup warm milk
Method:
In a large bowl add the flour, salt, sugar and yeast.
In a separate bowl mix the egg, oil and yoghurt. Add to the flour.
Add the milk and mix thoroughly.
Knead the dough until smooth and the dough no longer stick to your hands.
Cover the bowl with plastic and leave to rise in a warm place until double in size.
Knock the dough down to let the air come out.
Divide the dough into 10 and form into shapes.
Place in a baking tray dusted with flour. Leave to rise for 10 minutes.
Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional).
Bake in a preheated oven at 190C until light brown approx 25 – 30 minutes.

I’ve used my basic rolls recipe for this, use small pieces of dough roll into a ball between your palms. Arrange in a round baking tray couple of centimetres apart to allow rising. Bake as usual and enjoy!
Plaited Rolls
Again I’ve used the basic recipe. Divide the dough into three equal pieces and roll to form three even ‘sausage’ shapes. Plait the three dough ‘sausages’ together to form a large loaf and place onto a lightly floured baking tray.
CHEDDAR SCONES
CHEDDAR SCONES
Makes 12-15
Ingredients:
200g self-raising flour, plus a little extra for dusting
50g butter, at room temperature
25g oats
75g grated cheddar cheese, plus extra for topping
150ml milk
Method:
Heat your oven to 220C. Pace the flour in a large bowl, then rub in the butter. Stir in the oats and cheese, then the milk – if it feels like it might be dry, add a touch more milk, then bring together to make a soft dough.
Lightly dust the surface with a little flour, roll out the dough no thinner than 2cm. Cut out rounds with a cookie cutter.
Transfer to a baking sheet, dust with a little more flour or grated cheese, then bake for 12-15 minutes until well risen and golden. Cool, serve on their own or topped with mashed avocado or soft cheese.
BANANA AND DATE MUFFINS
Makes 12
Ingredients:
2 overripe bananas, chopped
100g dates, chopped
½ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 ½ cups self raising flour
METHOD:
Mix all the wet ingredients together, add the dry ingredients until just combined.
Put into muffins trays, lined with muffins cases and bake at 150C for 20 minutes or until done.
Delicious!!
