Monkey muffins :) x

My little monkey LOVES to bake so today we whipped up a batch of my Monkey Muffins, These are so simple to make, taste delicious and freeze well too (if they last long enough to make it to the freezer). Little hands can help squishing bananas up and putting cake cases into the tin, whilst bigger ones can help with weighing and measuring. These muffins are great with a cup of tea in the afternoon, but equally yummy for breakfast on-the-go!

Yummy Mummy's Monkey Muffins
Makes 12 'cupcake' size muffins

7oz self raising flour,
1 egg,
1/2tsp baking powder,
Pinch of salt,
3 large very ripe bananas, mashed,
5oz soft brown sugar,
2.5oz Stork, melted,
3oz walnuts (if you are baking these for small children then either leave out the walnuts or make sure they are a safe size for your child to eat, you can smash them up a bit or blend in them in a food processor to be fine so you get all the walnut flavour without the choking hazard. It is recommended not to give whole nuts to under 5s as they can be a choking hazard. If you're baking for grown ups then walnut pieces are delicious in these).

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4. Put 12 cupcake cases into a muffin tin.
2. Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.

3. Spoon into the cases equally and bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden on top.

I like these still warm from the oven, as does my little big man, ooops!
