easter monday banana and walnut muffins

These are based loosely on Bill Granger's berry yoghurt muffins. Thanks Bill Granger.

Try them with butter. Butter makes the world a better place.

Note the crocodile pot holders. Very cute.

Makes 12-15

1 1/2 cups SR flour

1 cup wholemeal SR flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

3/4 cup brown sugar

100g walnuts, roasted and roughly chopped

Finely grated zest of 1 orange

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup natural yoghurt

2 eggs

2 tbsp olive oil

2 large bananas (these ones were huge!) roughly mashed so there are smooth bits and chunks

Raw sugar or demerara sugar, for sprinkling

Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a muffin tray with patty pans.

Mix the flour, cinnamon, sugar and walnuts in a large bowel. Mash the bananas then stir in the buttermilk, yoghurt, eggs and olive oil. Make a well in the dry ingredients then gently stir in the wet ingredients until just combined.

Spoon into tin, sprinkle with demerara sugar and bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Remember to eat them warm with cold butter.

Original recipe calls for 440g (2 cups) mixed berries instead of the banana and no orange zest or nuts.
