Banana & Date muffins



For a change, I wanted to try some healthy muffins...!!!
This recipe is adapted from "muffins & bakes " book.

Ingredients

  • vegetable oil or cooking oil for spraying
  • 225 plain grams
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp all spice
  • 5 tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 large egg white
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 55 grams no-soak dired dates, pitted and chopped
  • 4 tbsp skimmed milk
  • 5 tbsp maple syrup
Method:
  1. Its important to spray with vegetable spray or cooking spray since there is no oil or butter used in the recipe.
  2. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and all spice into a mixing bowl.
  3. Add the caster sugar and mix together.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites together. 
  5. Mash the sliced bananas in a separate bowl, then add them to the egg whites.
  6. Add the dates, then pour in the milk and maple syrup and stir together gently to mix.
  7. Add the banana and date mixture to the just combined.
  8. Do not overstir the mixture -it is fine for it to be a little lumpy.
  9. Divide the muffin mixture evenly between the cups in the muffin pan.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven 200C/400F for 25 minutes or until risen and golden.
  11. Remove the muffins from the oven and serve warm.
