Usually we eat all the bananas that we buy, but occasionally we have a couple on the turn. I'm not a fan of soggy banana, so I usually make some cupcakes or banana bread. This time I thought I would go for something different, not quite so sweet and cakey- Oaty Banana muffins. Muffins- delicious, banana-yum, oats- makes it more filling so it's less likely I'll eat 3 in a row! The bonus is that they really aren't too sweet as the sugar content is fairly low, so they make a great snack.
So if you have a couple of bananas on the turn, make a batch of these. It's pretty difficult not to eat the lot when they are still warm, but if you can resist, they will keep for a few days in a tin, or you can freeze a few when they've cooled.

Top Tips
- Muffins are all about texture, so make sure that you don't over mix. You want it thick and lumpy, but with no loose flour.
- Mashing the bananas is down to personal preference. I don't like big lumps of banana personally, so I mash them quite well. Leave them lumpy if that's what you like.
- These muffins brown really well, so don't panic when you see that. As long as they aren't getting any small hints of an even darker colour, they're fine.
- If you want to make mini muffins, use fairy cake cases instead of cupcake cases and you'll get around 25 mini muffins from the recipe.
