Recipe: Banana Muffins

Hello! Martha here, reporting banana muffins.

2 banana muffins on a plate, in my tummy soon

I made them, because I wanted to put something else on my blog. I made them after breakfast and we had them for morning snack. I chose bananas because they are one of my favourite fruits, and we had some. They don't have any dairy in them. They were easy to make and we used one fork and one spoon and one bowl. I sprinkled gorilla (granola) on top to make it crunchy. My Mum has written the recipe for me (and you).

Ingredients (makes 6)

• 1 medium banana
• 1 small egg
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 6 tbsp self raising flour
• 3 tbsp granola

Preheat the oven to 160C fan (180C) and put 6 cake cases in a bun tin.

First mash the banana in a bowl. Crack in the egg and oil and beat. Mix in the sugar, then add the self raising flour and stir until well combined. 

Spoon into the cake cases and sprinkle 1/2 tbsp of the granola on top of each.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until risen and golden.

Remove from tins and cool on a wire rack.

After they were cooked. This one is the biggest one - my one!

Smelling the yummy smell [Ed - face was further from the muffins than it looks!]

They tasted banana-y. They were very good for snack. I gave them 7 thumbs up out of ten.

Next time I would add dried mango or chocolate chips to the mixture. My Daddy suggested caramel sauce. Mum suggested walnuts.

Review: My MARTHA's

This is me standing under the sign

This is me with my lunch

This is the chocolate mousse… but you can't see the avocado! 

Where we went: Martha's in Glasgow

What meal did we go for: lunch

Companions: MARTHA and mum

What we ate: wrap with falafel, chocolate mousse, rhubarb compote and sparkling cordial

The review:

I liked the fizzy cordial. The secret ingredient in the chocolate mousse was avocado… but it didn't taste like avocado! It tasted sweet and had seeds on it. The cafe had the same name as me and I like that. The lady behind the counter was nice - she gave me a lot of stickers… and they all say my name on them! (And they are different colours). 

There were lots of things that were dairy-free that I could choose from. It was easy to know what was in things because they had the ingredients written on them. My friend Isabella could have eaten there too, because they also had things that were gluten-free. If I went back again then I'd like to have a rice and chicken box with coleslaw. I would like to take my DAD because he was working.

How many thumbs up: 10 out of 10
