Banana and Berry Muffins - Real Recipes from Mums

Great for freezing, makes an easy lunchbox snack for kids! Not too much sugar or fat.

Ingredients (makes 12 Muffins)

2 cups Plain Flour
1/2 cup Rolled Oats
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
1 Banana
1/2 cup Fresh Blueberries (can use frozen)
1 cup Low Fat Milk
1/3 cup Light Olive Oil
1 Egg
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract

Method

Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Lightly spray muffin pans.
Place flour, oats, sugar and baking powder into a bowl and mix well.
Place peeled and chopped banana and berries into a bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add milk, oil, egg and vanilla. Mix well.
Add banana mixture to the dry ingredients and mix gently until only just mixed. Spoon into muffin tins, top with reserved berries and bake for 15-20 min, until well risen and golden brown.
Let cool in tin for 5 mins before turning out onto cooling rack.

Notes

You can replace the brown sugar with Coconut Sugar. If you don't like using Olive or Vegetable Oil you can replace with same quantity of low fat & salt margarine.

I prefer an older banana and more of them for a strong flavour. Definitely will give this a go first as one should always follow the recipe stated first before experimenting

Ooohh these look like something my son would love as he loves anything with berries in it. I will have to make them as a treat for his lunch box.

These look so yummy!
I don’t have any baking powder is there a way to use plain flour with a bit of self raising instead? Thanks!

  Instead of plain flour with baking powder you can use self raising flour I would say
