Preparation tips
- Use a very ripe banana with brown spots for maximum natural sweetness; the riper the fruit, the less you will miss added sugar alongside the maple syrup in these ABC muffins.
- Fill the muffin cases only two-thirds full so the batter can rise evenly without spilling over, and rotate the tin halfway through baking for a uniform golden colour on every muffin.
- These muffins freeze beautifully: cool them completely, wrap individually and store in the freezer. Pop one in a lunchbox in the morning and it will be defrosted by break time.
Recipe variations
- Nut-free and gluten-free version: replace the self raising flour with a gluten-free blend plus a teaspoon of baking powder, and check that your rolled oats are certified gluten-free. The banana and Greek yoghurt keep the crumb perfectly moist.
- Festive autumn variant: fold in a pinch of cinnamon and a handful of chopped walnuts or sultanas, and swap the Gala apple for a sharper Bramley variety for a deeper, spicier flavour.
