Banana Spice Muffins (NF)
Well, to continue on with the use of all of those sananab, sorry bananas, I decided to make some muffins.
These are from Sue Shepherds
, it was a gift from my Nan when I was first diagnosed Coeliac and has been put to good use.

Banana Spice Muffins
170g fine rice flour (I had run out so used white wings plain GF flour)
75g GF cornflour
90g potato flour
220g castor sugar
200g light GF natural yoghurt
40g butter, melted
2 eggs
2 over-ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
2tsp mixed spice
2tsp GF baking powder
1tsp bi-carb soda
1tsp xantham gum (optional)
1tsp ground cinnamon
Sift together all dry ingredients, except sugar, in a large bowl. Combine all wet ingredients and stir in remaining ingredients. Mix by hand with a heavy wooden spoon or in an electric mixer (if you don't want the arm workout!) for a couple of minutes.
Grease muffin tins or use patty pan papers(the recipe says it make 12 but I always end up with about 16) and spoon batter to out 2/3 full. Bake in a preheated oven at 170deg oven for 18-20minutes. Turn onto wire rack and cook.
Delicious served warm with a slather of butter. Will keep for about 4days in an airtight container.
Or less if you take them to work for morning tea (just make sure your boss likes banana, because mine doesn't - which works out better for me really!)
