We had three bananas just wasting a way on our counter so I was requested to put them to use as they reached the point when no one wanted to eat them. So muffins were the answer- I have slightly edited a Nigella Lawson to suit the quantities I had and the way that I wanted them.
115g grams butter (melted)
325 grams self-raising flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 pinch of salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
175 grams caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon honey
3 large bananas
3 medium eggs
190 ml milk
30g oat
Preheat oven to 190c
Leave melted butter to cool
Mash the bananas well
Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg into a bowl. Add the sugar and mix well. In a second bowl, with a folk, beat together the eggs, vanilla extract, honey, butter and milk.
Add the bananas to the egg mixture and stir.
Make a well in the dry mixture and add the egg mixture. Stir roughly with a folk. (Don't stir too much - its meant to be thick and lumpy!)
Grease a muffin/cake tin well and fill each space with the mixture.
Put in the over for 20-25 minutes.
Once golden brown and firm remove from oven leave to cool for 5 minutes in the tin and then 5 minutes on a wire rack.
Brush some honey over the top and sprinkle with oats.
