Maddy sent me a link the other day for a banana muffin recipe, it was from a crafty type blog i think but i cannot for the life of my find it.
The recipe involved using chunks of banana rather than mashed and it looked gorgeous. The blog was a very popular one i believe.
I'll have a look on the crafty blogs lists again, but would be most grateful if anyone has seen this and could pass the info on.
Thanks,
Calv.

Had you visited the site before Calv? If so have you tried checking your 'history'? Sorry can't be more helpful.

can't help either other than I have one on my blog - tbh you can mash or chunk a banana in any recipe. the banana loaf recipe on my blog I made loads of times and always mashed half the bananas and left the rest in chunks that I added at the end.

Thanks Carolyn, i'll try that one too.  Thanks Carole, should have thought about that, although it would mean sifting through the rubbish the girls go on, Build a bearville to name just one.  I seem to have a problem with my muffins being too heavy at the moment, they weigh a ton and are a little moist in the middle.....i wonder if i'm throwing in far too many bananas? I do like bananas.

Calv. Muffins are not supposed to be over worked, you do need a raising agent such as baking powder generally. I started making my muffins in a big jug (got a plastic one from wilkos for around a £1) and mixed it in there and then poured into cases which made it easier to handle.

I agree with Carolyn, if you mix them too much they're tough. Don't worry if the mixture looks lumpy - its supposed to  You can use either plain or self raising flour. You still add baking powder with self raising flour just not as much. I find when I make fruit muffins that if its a to a base of 10oz of flour I find that 6oz of fruit is plenty. Much more than that and it spoils the balance of the mix. In my oven I cook them at 190c for around 16 minutes. If yours is a non fan oven you may need it a bit higher than that. _________________ If you don't know what to do with new stuff, hide it until you do! http://caique-momma.blogspot.com/http://totallygorjuss.blogspot.com

Ah.....so my mixing the whole lot in a food processor for about 5 minutes might explain the banana bricks i've been baking?  Calv.

Glad you found it Calv I love making muffins, so simple and quick. As Net and Carolyn have said the key to lighter muffins is not over mixing. Carole
