Mini banana muffins with cream-cheese icingJust baked 2 dozen of these. I added choc chips to 12 of them. Will ice them tomorrow to take to a BBQ as a treat.
Makes 12 1½ cups (225g) self-raising flour ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda ½ cup (100g) brown sugar ½ cup (125ml) mashed ripe banana 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil 1 egg, lightly whisked ¾ cup (185ml) milk Icing 125g light cream cheese, softened 2 tbs icing sugar mixture 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind 1. 1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 12 x 1/3-cup capacity muffin pan. Combine flour, bicarbonate of soda and sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Whisk mashed banana, oil, egg and milk together in a jug. Pour into the well and gently stir until just combined. 2. Spoon mixture evenly among prepared muffin holes. Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. 3. Use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese, icing sugar and lemon rind in a small bowl until light and fluffy. Spread the top of each muffin with a little of the cream cheese mixture. Tip: These muffins can be frozen and put straight into a lunch box to defrost. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

A great way to use up bananas-I ALWAYS buy too many, and the ubiquitous banana bread gets a bit boring! |

Yes I always freeze bananas that are going a bit brown and them use them for banana bread/cake/muffins. |
